squamosis ; antennis elongatis, piceo-ferrngineis, capitulo 
sat magno, pallidiore. Subtus profunde et grosse punc- 
tatus. 
Long. Corp. lin. circa If. 
Captus prope Nagasaki, in ins. Kushiu. 
Not to mention the many features to which I have above 
alluded, the present fusiform (or somewhat anteriorly and 
posteriorly acute) Cossonid may be known from the other 
species described in this paper by the dirty, yellowish- 
brown hue of the short seta? and mud-like scales mth which 
its opake and coarsely-sculptiu^ed surface is rather densely 
clothed. There are eleven examples of it amongst the 
Coleoptera which Avere collected ])y Mr. LcAvis in Japan, 
which ( judging from an appended label) appear to have 
been beaten out of "old hedsfcs" near Nagasaki in the 
island of Kushiu. 
Genus 6. Coprodema (nov. gen.). 
Corj)us subfusiforme (in medio subparallelum, antice et 
postice leviter attenuatum), profunde sculpturatum, hinc 
inde parce subsquamoso-lutosum ; rostro longiusculo, an- 
gustulo, subtereti; ^cro^t^ curvata, infi*a oculum desiliente; 
oculis subrotundatis, demissis, longe ante marginem protho- 
racis sitis : ])rothorace ovato, antice et postice truncato : 
scutello rotundato, distincto : metasterno elongato : elytris 
antice subparallelis, postice acutiusculis sed ad apicem 
ipsum truncatis. AntenncB in medio rostri insertae ; scapo 
breviusculo, c\i\NixXo; fiiniculo 7-articulato, art." l"** reliquis 
paulo majore, sequentibus longitiidine subaaqualibus, latitu- 
dine paulo ere seen tibus; capitulo sat magno, ovali, distincte 
annulato. Pedes breviusculi, validi, antici ad basin fere 
approximati, intermedii paulo distantiores, postici valde 
distantes : femorihus muticis : tihiis ad apicem externum 
in uncum magnum valde inflexum, necnon ad internum in 
spinulam minutam productis: tarsis brevibus, filiformibus, 
art.'* 1"'°, 2'^° 3"°que latitudine longitudineque suba^qualibus 
(3''° fere simplici, i. e. prjficedentibus vix latiore et vix 
bilobo), ult."'° vix clavato, unguiculis parvis armato. 
Obs. — Genus statura sculpturaque etiam Calandram 
prima facie simulans, et aliquo modo Pholidoforo con- 
gruens; sed ab hoc distinguitur corpore grossius sculp- 
turato, antice et postice minus acuto, et multo minus 
squamoso (squamis quasi luteis solum, nee setiformibus, 
parciusque adspersis), necnon elytris ad apicem sensim
