A LIST OF ENDOMTCEII)^ COLLECTED IN JAPAN by GEO. LEWIS, Esq. 

 WITH DESCEIPTIONS OF NEW GENEEA AND SPECIES. 



BY THE BEV. H. S. GOEHAM. 



Among the insects collected by Mr. Gr. Lewis in the Japan islands 

 are a few EndomychidcB, of which six species appear to be new, and 

 not very close to anything known, and two, as I apprehend, pei'tain to 

 now genera. 



The following is a complete list of the species observed. 



ENDOMTCHID^. 

 Trih. 11.— Bapsini. 

 Anctlopus, Costa. 

 Anctlopus melanocephalus, Oliv. 



This widely spread species extends from Sicily, through Africa, 

 the East Indies, and Malay Isles, to Japan. 



" In rubbish heaps, common in all the islands ; generally in great 

 profusion." 



CoNiopODA, g. n. 

 Gen. Lycoperdinam simulans, sed antennarum clava triarticu- 

 lata, coxcB anticcB a prosterno separatee, et elytra pilosa. 



CONIOPODA OEIENTALIS, Sp. n. 



Ovata,ferruginea, parce pubescens antennis pedibusque nigris ; his 

 femorum hasi, tarsisque rwfis : scutello transversa, triangulari. 



Long. Corp. lin. 1\ — If. 



Caput parvum, oculifortiter granulati,antennce et tuherculis inter ocidos et 

 ad corum marginem contiguis exortce ; articulo tertlo secmido pauIo longiore, 

 4 — 8 stib-cBqualibus, quadratis, 9, 10, 11 his dvplo latiores. Thorax fere trans- 

 versus, angulis anticis dejlexis, 2}osteriorihus acutis, stria marginali integrd, sulcis 

 iasalibusbrevibusfortiterimpressis; medio leviter punctatus. lElytro apicem 

 versus attenuata, piibe brevi concolore parce vestita, leviter crebius punctata, 

 apice stria suturali medio haud attingente. Pedes nigri, femorum basi tarsisque 

 rujis, tibiis piceis, basi apiceqtie dilutioribus. 



Two specimens ; Hiogo. " Distributed in Nipon and Kushiu." 

 I have a specimen differing but slightly from the above insect, 



labelled (as from North America), " Upipocus ferrtigineus," which is, 



however, neither an Epi])ocus nor a Lycoperdina. 



Ltcoperdina, Lat. 



Ltcopebdina dux, sp. n. 



Ohlongo-ovata, picea, nitida, omnium parcius suitiliter punctata, 



thoracis elytrorumque marginibus dilutioribus, scutello transverso, an-
