Phynchophorous Coleoptera of Japan. 93 
truncate, humeral angles obtusely rounded, sides and apex rounded 
in a broad ellipse; surface very convex, with uniform scattered 
granulations, their interspaces shining, fringed at margins with 
long scanty hairs. Scutellum small, rounded, convex, shining. 
Elytra narrower than greatest width of thorax, and half as long 
again ; base truncate, humeral angles obtusely rounded, shoulders 
narrowly raised, sides subsinuate, slightly dilated behind and 
strongly rounded at apex ; surface subcylindrical, depressed before 
middle, dilated posteriorly and strongly declivous at apex, with 
rows of strong punctures, the punctures dilated on middle third and 
then becoming finer, sutural stria slightly impressed, interstices sub- 
convex, transversely rugose, with a single series of fine setigerous 
punctures; apical declivity convex, impressed on either side of 
suture, shining, with strive obsolescent ; elytra set with long hairs, 
close at sides and at margins of apical declivity, hairs of declivity 
itself shorter. Underside piceous, punctured ; abdomen with long 
pubescence. Legs ferruginous. 
Readily distinguished by the long pubescence, the 
absence of a frontal carina, the strong punctuation of 
the elytral striz, and the punctured interstices.

lius ; elytris prothorace minus quam sesqui longioribus, cylindricis,

A single example, Oyayama. 
Black, elytra with a piceous tinge. Head with front impressed 
and longitudinally carinate, coarsely punctured and thinly hairy, 
ciliate over middle of mouth. Prothorax a little longer than 
broad, truncate at base with angles obtuse, sides feebly rounded 
behind and very slightly dilated to posterior third, strongly and 
uniformly rounded in front to apex, the margin of which is 
tuberculaie; surface uniformly convex, asperate, rather more finely 
at base, with scattered hairs. Scutellum small, rounded, shining, 
finely bordered. Elytra rather wider than base of prothorax and 
about one-fourth longer, truncate at base with shoulders narrowly 
elevated, humeral angles rounded rectangular, sides rounded and 
somewhat narrowed at posterior fourth, then rather abruptly 
flexed, and nearly straight at apex, which is not conjointly
