SCTDMiENUS POLLENS, Sp. n. 

 Convexus, longius piibescens, rufo-castaneus, antennis palpis pedibusque rujis ; 

 elytrisfortiter punctatis. Long. 2 mm. 



Aiitennse thicker towards the extremity, the penultimate three jointa very 

 evidently transverse. Thorax small in proportion to the elytra, about as broad as 

 long, distinctly narrowed behind, with indefinite transverse depression in front of 

 the base, the basal portion being punctate. Elytra oval, convex, with upright 

 pubescence, and remarkably distinct coarse punctuation, basal depressions quite 

 indistinct. 



This is allied to our *S'. Qodarti, thongli abundantly distinct ; it is 

 larger, with the outer joints of the antennae thicker, the punctuation 

 of the elytra remarkable, and their basal foveas very obscure. 



Oyayama, April 2Gth, 1881 ; unique ; the front femora are in- 

 crassate, so that the example is no doubt a male. 



EUMICRUS. 



A. Middle coxae separated only by a sharply raised carina. 



1. Etjmiceus testitus. 



Sharp, Trans Ent. Soc. Lond., 1874, p. 126. 



This species is well distinguished by the remarkably large size, 



and the approximation of the two more inner of the basal foveas. It 



has, as yet, been found only in Nipon and Kiushui ; though as it is 



allied (but by no means closely) to the European E. tarsatus, we may 



feel sure it is to be found also in the northern parts of the Archipelago. 



2. EUMICRTJS AUGUSTUS, sp. 71. 

 Angustulus, convexus, parce pubescens, rufo-hrunneus, antennis pedibusque tes- 

 taceis ; prothorace elongato haud lato, basi foveolis quatuor parvulis sed profundis 

 instructo : elytris obsolete punctatis. Long. IJ mm. 



Antennffi rather elongate, with long three-jointed club, the 9th and 10th joints 

 each quite as long as broad, the terminal joint longer. Head rather narrow, a little 

 narrower behind. Thorax slender, longer than broad, curvate at the sides, the 

 greatest width in front of the middle, a little narrowed behind, a^. the base on each 

 side with two distinct approximate fovese. Elytra riC^x^ narrow onvex, with short 

 humeral fold limiting a short basal depression. 



This is an ordinary Eumicrus, the middle coxae * jing separated 

 only by a sharply raised slender carina. 

 Kioto, July 4th, 1881 ; unique. 



3. EUMICKUS CUETIPENNIS, Sp. 11. 



Latiusculus, sat convexus, rtifo-brunneus, minus subtiliter pubescens ; prothorace 

 posterius angustato, basi utrinque obsolete bifoveolato ; elytris subtiliter punctulatis. 



Long. If mm.
