100 Mr. Walter F. H. Blandford on the 
Coccotrypes advend, sp. n. 
Oblongo-ovalis, nitidus, pilosus, piceo-ferrugineus, antennis pedi- 
busque dilutioribus ; prothorace antice contracto, angulis posticis 
obtusis, lateribus rotundatis, apice nonnihil deplanato, mutico, 
supra minus conyvexo, punctis haud frequentibus aciculatis notato ; 
elytris fortius lineato-punctatis, punctis haud setigeris, interstitiis 
uniseriatim setosis. Long, 1*6 mm. 
One example near Nagasaki. 
Oblong oval, ferruginous-brown, with long pubescence. Front 
coarsely punctured, flattened and impressed over mouth. Protho- 
rax contracted in front, as long as broad, basal angles obtusely 
rounded and not applied to humeral angles of elytra, sides and 
apex separately and not strongly rounded ; surface only feebly 
convex, shining, with long hairs, arising from scattered aciculate 
punctures, which are weaker on the disc around an indistinet 
median impunctate line. Scutellum rounded, piceous, shining. 
Elytra wider than base of prothorax, and more than one-third 
longer, humeral angles subrectangular, sides parallel to middle, 
thence obliquely rounded to apex ; surface subcylindrical for basal 
third, then dilated and convexly declivous, with rows of punctures, 
strong and dilated at base, weak and shallow, but not obsolete, 
towards apex, without seriate hairs, interstices with a single row 
of fine aciculations bearing erect sete. Legs ferruginous. 
Readily confounded with C. perditor, but more 
elongate; the prothorax much less convex, with 
the apex and sides not conjointly rounded, and the 
posterior angles obtuse and not applied to the elytra, 
not tuberculate, the punctures being scattered and 
only slightly elevated; punctures. of the elytral strize 
much stronger at base and without sete. The shape of 
the prothorax, which is hardly more convex than that 
of most Dryocetes, and its sculpture will distinguish it 
from other species of Coccotrypes. I have not been able 
to dissect it, but the generic characters, as far as observ- 
able, agree with this genus. 
Xyieporvs, Hichh. 
This genus is very well represented in Japan by 29 
species, exclusive of three males, which I have described
