76 Mr. Walter F. H. Blandford on the 
distinctius rufescentibus, non dilatatis, striis minus perspicuendis. 
Long. vix 3 mm. 
Two examples, Sapporo. 
The two specimens I have included under this title 
differ principally in shape from the preceding species. 
They are distinctly shorter, particularly in the elytra, 
which are not more than one-fourth longer than wide, 
and are not dilated towards the apex, which is slightly 
flattened. The head is similar, the antennal club less 
deeply infuscate. Prothorax transverse and strongly 
constricted, the median line well-marked and elevated at 
the base, more so than in the specimens of P. oblongus, 
where it is nearly obsolete, rather more shining and less 
closely punctured, the punctures subaciculate. Elytra 
more abruptly and distinctly reddish towards apex, their 
striz less distinct. Posterior tibiz feebly spined. 
One example is rubbed bare, and its appearance is 
materially altered, the pubescence on the other is not 
intact, but appears to be a little less close than in P. 
oblongus. Both are females. 
Polygraphus miser, sp. n. 
P, oblongo similis sed minor, angustior, antennarum clava vix 
acuminata, prothorace anterius minus angustato, post apicem haud 
constricto; elytris ad basim magis infuscatis, tenuiter striatis, 
squamis subtilioribus ; pedibus ferrugineis. Long. 2°4 mm. 
Four specimens, Nikko. 
Hardly to be distinguished from P. oblongus except by 
its smaller size, which is quite noticeable when the 
specimens from each locality are compared side by side. 
In shape narrower, with the prothorax less transverse and con- 
stricted in front, and the elytra proportionately shorter. Antenne 
entirely testaceous, with the club not acuminate; prothorax more 
shining, less squamous and more sparingly punctured, the punctures 
but feebly aciculate ; one example shows a median raised line, the 
other three not. Hlytra with basal half darker and more abruptly 
contrasted with the shorter and lighter apica] half, with rather 
thinner squamous covering, and more distinct striz. Head in the 
female duller, more punctured and less convex, front bituberculate; 
in the male narrower.
