Rhynchophorous Coleoptera of Japan, 131 
Generally distributed; numerous specimens taken at 
Sapporo and Hakodate in Yezo, also at Miyanoshita, 
Yuyama, etc., and in Kiushiu. 
Lighter or darker ferruginous-brown, with head and apical 
third of elytra infuscate ; the elytra sometimes evidently lighter 
in the middle, particularly in the males, Head with front 
flattened, dull, with longitudinal strigose punctures which are 
stronger in the female, and with a longitudinal impressed line, 
nearly obsolete in the male, vertex with three shining vitte ; 
antennz with scape simple, slightly dilated internally at base. 
Prothorax subquadrate, its central furrow shallow ; in the female 
with the sides of the furrow slightly elevated, with irregular 
punctures, the punctures closer and rather deeper towards sides 
behind emargination, internal to which there is a shallow depres- 
sion; in the female without sides of sulcus elevated, with fine 
irregular punctures, usually rather closer on two slight impressions 
on either side of anterior extremity of sulcus, one or two 
impressions along lateral margin are usually present but not 
constant. Elytra longer in the male than in the female, in both 
sexes with rows of fine punctures, first stria impressed throughout, 
more strongly at base, the rest impressed at base and on declivity, 
3rd and 4th conjoined at base ; interstices with a very fine ground- 
work of punctures, and one or two larger punctures, 3rd finely 
granulate at base in male; apex gently declivous with external 
angles produced more strongly in female, striz of male impressed but 
not dilated, interstices flat, pubescent, strize dilated in female, sub- 
suleate, interstices pubescent, convex ; marginal impression narrow, 
shining, tuberculate at extremities of 3rd and 4th interstices. 
Underside ferruginous, 1st abdominal segment with an oblique 
spine, long in female, tuberculiform in male, apical segment 
strongly punctured in female and concave. Legs ferruginous. 
This species belongs to the Crossotarsi subdepressi, 
and is closely allied to C. fairmairei, Chap., from 
which it can be separated by the absence of the close 
variolose punctures at the base of the prothorax, and 
by the second interstice of the elytra not being im- 
pressed in the middle. The produced angles of the 
elytra are longer, and extend more obliquely backwards 
than in C. fairmairet. 
Crossotarsus contaminatus, sp. 0. 
Fem. Picea, fronte subconcava, opaca, disperse punctata ; 
prothorace oblongiusculo, in medio ntrinque impresso, irregulariter
