Ts Mr. Walter I’, Hl. Blandford on the 
Diyoceles apatoides, Michh, 
Dryocwtes (7) apatoides, Wichh., Seol, Jap., p. 201, 
Taphrorychus (¢) apatoides, Wiehh,, Rat, lom., p. 209, 
No further example has occurred, 
The legs of this inseet are piceous-black, not ferru- 
ginous as described by Wichhoff, They are rather more 
slender than in the two last insects, and, therefore, 
more like those of a Vaphrorychus, but there is no real 
difference in their structure, Lf the two last species are 
soxes of the same, the form of the prothorax in this 
insect is probably sexual, 
Coccornyrns, Wiehh, 
ho species of this genus are closely allied to 
Dryocwles, Wichh., and though differing in the maxillary 
armature and in habits, are not always easily separable, 
The prosternal characters seem to me to be of little 
value, and the basal border of the prothorax, which is 
absent in Dryocwtes, is not always readily  distin- 
vuishable in this genus. They can be differentiated 
without dissection by their shape, which (in the 
Japanese species) is shorter and more ovate, and by the 
tibiw, which are distinetly truncate, and not grooved for 
the tarsi; whereas in Dryocates, the anterior tibiae ab 
loast have the outer margin rounded to the inner angle 
of the apex, without abrupt change of direction, and are 
recessed, 
L add two species, 
Coccolrypes graniceps, Wichh, 
Michh,, Rat, ‘l’om,, p. 314. 
Diyocates graniceps, Lewis, Cat, dap. Col, 
One oxample, Nagasaki; alsoat Liogo (von Schonfeldt), 
[ have not seen the type, which is not in Mr. Lewis’s 
collection, but the specimen corresponds absolutely to 
Wichholl’s deseription, except that the whole surface is 
uniform pitchy-brown, Legs ferraginous, the anterior 
tibia with border simple for basal half, then with 
two outwardly directed spines, apex with two forwardly 
directed spines, besides spine at inner angle ; intermediate 
tibie with three forwardly direeted spines at apex. Pune. 
tuation of abdomen finer than in Dryocawles afinis.
