Thi- interesting genus was first described by Col. Motschulsky from examples 

 round in India, and figured by him in the same work (Tab. viii. fig. 1). His 

 • I. scription, like all his other descriptions, is very unsatisfactory, but, ae far as it 

 goes, agrees with the insect found in Japan by Mr. Lewis; his figure is much more 

 iressive, and has convinced me that Mr. Lewis's insect is identical with Campto- 

 diwm adustipenne.
