AQ [July, 188G. 



Thorax longer than broad, densely pubescent, sub-conical. Elytra slender, convex, 

 much narrowed towards the base, rather densely clothed with a short fulvous 

 pubescence, with a very slight depression within the shoulders. Pectoral lamina 

 excessively elevated, broad. 



This forms one of a little group of species characterized by the 

 peculiar antennae, that I think may prove peculiar to Japan, at any 

 rate, I am not myself acquainted with any other Euconni having so 

 abrupt, short and broad a club to the antennse. E.fustiger is closely 

 allied to the present species, but has a quadri-foveolate thorax, and a 

 much larger depression at the base of the elytra. 



Nagasaki ; six examples found in the early spring of 1881. 



I have named this species in honour of the naturalist to whom 

 we owe so much for his entomological work in Japan. 



7. EUCONNUS EAUCUS, sp. 11. 



Convextis, breviter, dense pitbescens, piceus, antennis pedibusque testaceis, Mis 



clava breve perahrupta, quadriarticulata ; prothorace conico, haud impresso. 



Long. If mm. 



This is closely allied to E. Leivisii, but is larger and broader, 

 and the depression at the base of the wing-cases is larger, the humeral 

 fold being longer and placed nearer to the outside, and there being 

 feeble signs of two other depressions at the extreme base between this 

 and the suture. 



Nagasaki, March 26th, 1881 ; unique. 



8. EuCONNUS OSCILLANS, Sp. H. 

 I'arvus, rufo-testaceus, pubescens, antennis hrevibus, clava abrupia sal lata, 

 quadriarticulata; prothorace conico-subquadrato, ante basin vage transversim de- 

 presso ; elytris laxe pubescentibus, minus subtiliter punctulatis. Long. Ij mm. 



Joints 3 — 7 of antennae small, about equal, the next three joints transverse, but 

 not strongly so, terminal joint about as long as broad. Head narrow, vertex much 

 prolonged. Thorax without sulcus or fovea, but with an indistinct depression in 

 front of the base. Elytra with a definite distinct punctuation, and with a scanty, 

 rather long pubescence, only indistinctly depressed within the shoulders. 



Only one example has been met with, and the description there- 

 fore is not very good, as 1 cannot form a good opinion as to the exact 

 shape of the thorax, and the clothing of the head, the former being 

 concealed by the rough pubescence, and though there is little pubes- 

 cence on the head, the surface appears dull and rough as if such had 

 been present. The species, however, is abundantly distinct, as it re- 

 sembles E. debilis, but has a four-jointed club to the antennae ; it is 

 different in form and appearance to the E. Leioisii group of species, 

 has a much less broad antcnnal club, and a fine pectoral lamina.
