C. bipunctata, Burm., Handb. 982; Schneider, Mon. 
Chrysop. 103, tab. 31. 
I have seen nothing from Japan with which Schneider’s 
words, “stria arcuata ante antennas,” will agree ; but see 
remarks on next species. 
C. cognata, M‘ Lach. 
C. cognata, M‘Lach., Journ. Linn. Soc., Zool. ix., 249. 
Probably common ; found also in China and Cambodia. 
In one example from Japan there is a spot between the 
antenne (absent in all the others), and it thus shows an 
approach to C. bipunctata ; but im no individual is there 
any trace of black spots or streaks before the antenne. 
The species is closely allied to the European C. 7-pune- 
tata, and (with bipunctata) may be only a local condition 
thereof. 
C. microcephala, Brauer (?). 
One individual from Yokohama (Pryer), in Wormald’s 
collection, may possibly be this species, which is very 
near the abundant and widely-spread C. vulgaris, if indeed 
it be not a condition of that insect. 
Nornocurysa, M‘Lach. 
NN. japonica, sp. nov. 
Head and two basal joints of antenne yellow, the rest 
of the antennz deep black. Pronotum broader than long, 
with a deep, impressed, longitudinal line in the middle ; 
yellow, tinged with reddish. Meso- and meta-nota yellow, 
with large black spots at the sides ; the sides of the thorax, 
below the wings, varied with black and yellow in a macu- 
lose manner. Abdomen yellow above, with a broad black 
dorsal line; beneath black, with narrow yellow margins 
to the segments, and the apex yellow. Wings narrow and 
elongate, subacute, nearly colourless (probably greenish- 
yellow in life); neuration mostly yellowish (green ?); the 
lower half of the apical veinlets towards the base in the 
anterior wings, and the apical half of the sector in both
