A common species througliout Nipon and Kushiu. 



Forms the tyj^e of a distinct genus with coarsely granulated eyes^ 



elongate antennae, a S-jointed club, and short tarsi. 



G. 11. Cbotch. 



An apparently non-descript species of Langiiria, overlooked by 

 Mr. Lewis when submitting his Japanese Erotylidce to Mr. Crotch, 

 having been just j)laced in my hands by the former gentleman for de- 

 scription, in oi'der to render the above paper as complete as possible, 

 I have drawn up the following characters from the solitary example 

 hitherto found by him : — 



L. PEJETERMISSA, sp. n. 



EJongnta, suh-^yarallela, rufo-testacea, antennis extrorsum, scii- 

 fello, ahdominlsque apice nigro-picels, elytris cyaneis ; tliorace elon- 

 yafo, postice anyustato ; pedihus yracilihus. L. c. 2 liii. 



AntenncB capitis tlioracisqiie prope longitudine, tenuiores, clavd tri- 

 articulatd, rufo-testacece, articidis 5 uUimis nigro-piceis. Caput vertice 

 fortiter farcius punctatum. Thorax apice coleopterorum latitudine 

 untied pa ulo longior, hasin versus angusf at us, sat convexus, parce punc- 

 tatus, postice marginatus, transversim impressits^ et utrinque striold hrevi 

 notatus. Scufellum Iceve. Elytra tliorace 2)1 us duplo longiora, punctato- 

 striata, inter st it iis planus, strid sutiirali integrd, punctatd. Pedes 

 elongati, riifo-testacei, tarsis apice picescentibiis. 



Hiogo, one example on Maiyasan. 



This species is most nearly allied to L. ruficeps. Crotch, but is 

 readily distinguished by its narrower form, slender antennae and legs, 

 coarsely punctured head, the proportions and sculpture of the thorax, 

 and its rufo-testaceous meso- and meta-thorax and basal segments of 

 abdomen.

The three following apparently new species of Languria from 

 Japan have been detected since the above descriptions were written. 



LajS'gtjeia nigeitarsis, sp. n. 



Elongata, nitida, supra cupreo-csnescens ; corpore siihtiis, ore, fe- 

 morihus tibiisque riifo-piceis, metasterno csneo-macidato, antennis tar- 

 sisqice nigris. Capite sat dense punctato. Thorace longitudine vix 

 latiori, ant ice paulo angustato, ante angulos posticos paido constricfo, 

 parum convexo, postice iransversim imp?-esso, parce suhtiJius picnctulato ;
