 Dieuchfis (part), Dist. -vol. ii, p. 82, & vol. v, p. 71, 



Type, M. abbreviatus, Scott", from Japan. 



Distribution. Ceylon; India; Malay Archipelago ; Japan. 



I had previously followed Sta.1, Breddin, Os-hanin, Lethierry & 

 Severin, and other authorities in placing this genus as a section 

 of Dieuches, but I now follow Bergroth {supra) in recognizing it 

 as a distinct genus. " The head is much broader than the apex 

 of the pronotum and the pronotal lateral margins are narrowly 

 carinated and strongly siiiuated, whereas in Dieuches the head is 

 not or scarcely broader than the apex of the pronotum and the 

 pronotal lateral margins broadly laminately expanded and not 

 or scarcely sinuated." 



Metochus uniguttatus. 



Dieuches uniguttatus (vol. ii, p. 82).

3802. Metochus illustris, sp. n. 



Head, anterior lobe of pronotum, and scutellum black ; posterior 

 lobe of pronotum and corium dark castaneous, the latter with the 

 costal marginal area and a subapical transverse fascia — sometimes 

 macular — pale ochraceous ; membrane fuscous ; body beneath 

 black : legs ochraceous, anterior femora (excluding apices) and 

 about apical thirds of intermediate and posterior femora, very 

 dark castaneous; first and second joints of the antennae dull 

 ochraceous, remaining joints more piceous, second joint longest ; 

 head broader than the apex of the pronotum, of which the lateral 

 margins are shortly carinated and strongly sinuate, the posterior 

 lobe very finely punctate ; corium finely punctate ; anterior 

 femora finely spined beneath ; scutellum moderately but distinctly 

 depressed near base.
