impressed on either side of suture, the impression shining, impunc- 
tate, its outer margins more strongly elevated than suture, with two 
- or three weak setigerous tubercles ; suture very slightly elevated, 
with traces of tuberculation near apex; underside black, thinly 
pubescent. Legs fuscous. 
A slender narrow species, readily distinguished by the 
strong punctures of the thorax, with its elevated median 
smooth line, by the distinct and regular rows of 
punctures on the elytra, which are nearly glabrous and 
not acuminate.

I add one more species provisionally to this genus.

One example, very small, has occurred since, without 
recorded locality. 
Hidophelus minutus, sp. n. 
Oblongus, nitidus, piceo-niger, fere glaber ; prothorace lati- 
tudine vix longiore, lateribus ad medium subrectis, inde cum apice 
subcirculare rotundatis, supra convexo, antice lineis tuberculorum 
concentricis exasperato, postice punctis discretis fortibus, in medio 
subtilioribus notato; elytris ad apicem oblique declivibus, non 
impressis, lineato-punctatis, punctis post medium obsoletis, inter- 
stitiis subrugosis absque punctis. Long, 1°2 mm. 
One example, Chiuzenji. 
Oblong, piceous-black, with a few hairs on elytra and sides of 
thorax. Head reticulate, front strongly punctured, scantily hairy ; 
eyes oval, scarcely visibly emarginate ; antenne testaceous, funi- 
culus 4-jointed, club orbicular oval with weak curved sutures, 
pubescent at apex. Prothorax little longer than broad, base 
truncate, finely margined, basal angles obtuse but distinct, margined, 
sides straight, slightly narrowed towards middle, then subcircularly 
rounded, apex slightly flatter ; its anterior half with about six 
concentric rows of fused tubercles, forming a series of raised lines 
somewhat as in Cryphalus tilie, the anterior row occupying the 
apical margin when seen from above, posterior half with very 
scattered punctures, strong at sides, smaller and somewhat as- 
perate on middle Scutellum triangular, shining. Elytra rather
