108 Mr. C. O. Waterhouse on the 
that in the ¢ of Ph. horticola. The clypeus, the sides ot 
the thorax and the legs in the @ are obscure testaceous, 
but this is probably not always the case. 
Hab.— Nagasaki (¢), in May; Kawachi ( ¢ ). 
Phyllopertha orientalis, sp. nov. 
Ph. campestri affinis. Obscure cupreo-enea, elytris 
plerumque flavo-variegatis. Capite fere ut in Ph. horti- 
cold, fronte crebre punctulata, clypeo angulis rotundatis. 
Antennarum clava prelonga nigra. Thorace parum con- 
vexo, antice angustato, sat crebre fortiter punctato, late- 
ribus arcuatis, angulis posticis obtusiusculis, basi fere 
rotundato, marginato. Scutello arcuatim §triangulari, 
punctulato. Elytris thoracis basi latitudinem eequantibus 
postice paulo ampliatis, ad apicem obtusis, depressiusculis, 
fortiter striatis, strus fortiter irregulariter punctatis, inter- 
stitiis convexis, subtiliter obsolete punctulatis. 
Long. 4—54 lin. ; lat. 25—3% lin. 
Var. a. Testacea, fronte thoracisque maculis duabus 
eneis; tarsis piceis. 
Var. b. Testacea, fronte thoracis limbo, elytrorumque 
fasciis duabus irregularibus zeneis. 
Var. c. nea, elytris nigro-piceis, flavo-maculatis. 
Besides the colouration this species varies much in form, 
the smaller specimens being more convex and slightly 
ovate; the sculpture of the elytra also varies, the inter- 
stices being almost rugulose in some specimens, whereas 
they are almost smooth in others. 
Hab.—Kawachi; Nagasaki; Hakodadi. (Common in 
May and June.) 
Phyllopertha arenaria, Brullé. 
Hab.—Nagasaki, in May. 
Phyllopertha octocostata, Burm. 
Ph. octocostata, Burm. Handb. iv. 1, p. 243. 
Hab.—Japan. “ A common species; it appears with 
the first warm days of spring.” 
This is placed as a synonym of Anomala costata, Hope, 
under Phyllopertha in Gemminger’s Catalogue; costata 
is quite a different insect, and will be referred to under 
Anomala, closely allied to A. aurata.
