Hob. Japan, Central. "^ $$,\ $ {J. Harmand, 1900. 

 Mns. Paris). 



This species has the appearance of a Chdidxira or Gono- 

 lalis, quite different from Apterygida. The stout build, 

 strong toothed forceps and general form lead me to separate 

 it even from that heterogeneous group.

Hah. Japan, Yeso (1 $, I $, Bonnet, 1886, now in my 

 collection); Hako, on trees, 12 v. '81, 1 % {G. Lewis, ex 

 Coll. de Bormans, now in my collection) ; " Japon," 1 $, 

 1 $ (my collection); "Japon Central," 2 %% {J. Har- 

 mand, 1900; Mus. Paris). (Type in my collection.) 



The three specimens in my possession which came from 

 de Bormans' collection were determined by that author as 

 Apterygida japoniea, Borm., but the forceps are totally 

 different from those of the true A. japoniea, as described 

 and figured by de Bormans, and in the Paris collection 

 there is a male which corresponds exactly with de Bormans' 

 description. 



The females of these two new species are extremely 

 alike ; the ^ and 3 %% in the Paris collection are very 

 dark in colour, but the male and female in my collection, 

 from the same locality, rather approach 0. liarmandi in 

 colour — that is to say, are much paler It is possible that 

 these two species are not really distinct, but that it is a 

 single species, in which the male is dimorphic. 



Apterygida honchainpsi, sp. n. 



A. erythrocephala, Oliv., valde affinis. Caput, antennte, pronotum, 

 elytra, alee, pedes flava ; abdomen forcepsque rubra. Antennse totae
