and, so far as I am aware, no intermediate forms have been 

 taken in this district such as those recently referred to in the 

 ' Entomologist ' (xxxviii. 289) from the Liverpool district. 



The upper figure is of a New Forest specimen for comparison. 



I am indebted to Mr. E.G. Goulton for the excellent photo-

DESCEIPTIONS OF TWO NEW SPECIES OF ICHNEU- 

 MONID.E FEOM JAPAN. 



By p. Cameron. 



Anomalon japonicum, sp. nov. 



Black ; flagellum of antennae dark rufous, thickly covered with 

 short, stiff black hair, the scape with longer black hair ; the inner eye 

 orbits narrowly to the top of the antenna ; a broader, shorter mark 

 in the centre of the face, slightly dilated towards the apex, where it is 

 bluntly triangular. Base of clypeus broadly in the middle, labrum 

 and the outer orbits narrowly, yellowish fulvous ; the base of abdomen 

 widely red ; the petiole black in the middle above and in front of the 

 post-petiole, the second segment being also black above. Legs fulvous, 

 all the coxfe, the apices of the hinder femora, and tarsi, black. Wings 

 fulvo-hyaline, the stigma rufo-testaceous, the nervures fuscous, the 

 tegulaB ferruginous. Scutellum yellow. Female. Length 23 mm. 



Shirakawa, Japan. (George Lewis). 



Head rugosely punctured, thickly covered with long black to fuscous 

 hair, the inner orbits much more closely and finely than the face or 

 front, which is depressed and distinctly furrowed in the middle ; the 

 clypeus has the punctures larger and more distinct than they are on 

 the front; its apex is smooth. Mesonotum thickly covered with fuscous 

 hair, coarsely punctured, its middle lobe slightly raised ; a shallow 

 furrow in the centre. Scutellum coarsely punctured, thickly covered 

 with long fuscous hair, its base depressed in the middle ; the apex 

 black, depressed, the depression keeled laterally ; sides of post- 

 scutellum sharply keeled. Median segment coarsely reticulated, the 

 apex depressed, coarsely transversely striated. Pro- and mesopleurre 

 closely, rather strongly punctured, the apex of the former widely and 

 deeply depressed ; the base of the metapleurje in the middle coarsely 

 rugose, the rest rugosely reticulated. 



This species may be known from A. flavifrons, Sm., by the 

 smaller size of the latter, by its four anterior coxas and tro- 

 chanters being bright yellow, by the face, mandibles, and 

 antennal scape being yellow in front (the sculpture of flavifrons 

 is not stated). A. insicliator is larger (35 mm.), has the basal 

 two segments of the abdomen black, and the fore coxee are not 

 black.
