the elytra, and the apical margin which is thereby sinuate 
at the sides. This feature, though not usual in Huropean 
examples, is distinctly traceable in a less degree in one 
specimen of my series from the Ardennes, and is therefore 
not specific. I do not think that the identification of this 
species with Fabricius’ Apate signata is proved. 
Trypodendron pubipenne, sp. n. 
Oblongum, subnitidum, pilis longis adspersum, fusco-nigrum, 
elytris testaceis, sutura et apice infuscatis, antennis pedibusque 
testaceis ; clava antennarum ovali, haud acuminata; prothorace 
obscuro, anterius exasperato, posterius in medio subtilissime 
aciculato-punctato, lateribus muticis ; elytris apice obtuso, vix 
perspicue lineato-punctatis, interstitiis subrugulosis, multipunctatis, 
Mas. Capite angusto, fronte depressa, supra inter partes 
oculoram superiores carinula transversa nitida ornata; prothorace 
anterius fortiter angustato. 
Fem. Capite lato, fronte subconvexa; prothorace minus 
angustato, Long. 3 mm. 
Four specimens taken at Sapporo, Kiga, Miyanoshita, 
and Ichiuchi. 
Oblong, fuscous-black with elytra dull testaceous, darker along 
suture and at apex, moderately shining, with long downy 
pubescence. Head in male narrow with front flattened, longi- 
tudinally impressed, dull, sparsely punctured and pubescent, upper 
divisions of eyes with a narrow raised glossy margin continued as a 
transverse grooved ridge across vertex ; in female broader, sub- 
convex, transversely rugose, scantily punctured and hairy. Antenne 
with club oval, not acuminate, completely pubescent. Prothorax 
transverse, strongly constricted in front in male, less so in female, 
its sides rounded, apical margin bituberculate, acuminate in male, 
the whole surface dull with very fine granulations, gibbous in 
female, depressed in male, with scattered hairs, absent over sides of 
base, in front with asperate tubercles, becoming finer and produced 
in middle nearly tu base, which is without aciculations at sides. 
Scutellum piceous, triangular, pubescent. Elytra less than twice 
as long as prothorax and narrower than its greatest width, sides 
subparallel, apex obtusely rounded, surface with long pubescence 
chiefly at sides and apex, finely punctured in rows, interstices 
multi-punctate, subrugose, the punctures as in the allied species 
not readily distinguishable from those of the striew. Underside 
fuscous-black, almost impunctate, pubescent,
