p. 140. 

 In the male of this species the eyes are at one spot as 

 nearly contiguous as can well be ; in the female they 

 are very slightly more distant. The front tibiae are 

 feebly bisinuous on their inner margin, and there is but 

 little difference betvs^een the sexes in this respect, the 

 male tibiae being, however, a little more elongate.

Closely allied to E. politus, but of a darker colour above, larger 

 in size, with much broader elytra, and certainly distinguished by 

 the eyes being rather larger, so that they are quite confluent at 

 their inner margins. There is but little sexual difference in the 

 front tibiae ; in the female they are a little shorter and thicker, and 

 feebly bisinuous along the inner margin. 



A fine series has been brought back by Mr. Lewis. 

 As in the other Japanese species of the genus, the 

 thorax varies a little in its sculpture, but it is finer in 

 E. phcedotiius than in any of the others.

 It would seem probable, from the size given by 

 Motschoulsky, that his species is a Euops of the E. 

 splendens group, but I cannot reconcile his diagnosis 

 satisfactorily with either of the Japanese species before 

 me, and it is by no means improbable that it may prove 

 not to be a Euops at all.
