80 Mr. Joseph S. Baly on the 
Ilcfid slightly enlarged in the $ , smooth and shining, a 
broad space between the eyes slightly depressed ; its snr- 
face, together with the lower portion of the face itself, 
faintly wrinkled; eyes large, very slightly prominent, 
feebly notched within, surrounded by a sunken orbit, the 
surface of -which is distinctly but not deeply punctured, 
and sparingly clothed with white hairs. Antenna; with 
the four lower joints fulvous, more or less stained Avitli 
piceous, the rest nigro-piccous ; fourth and six following 
joints trigonate, the terminal joints ovate. Thorax more 
tlian twice as broad as long, sides subparallcl at the l)a?e, 
tlience rounded and converging to the ajiex ; hinder 
angles distinct, their apices obtuse ; basal margin trun- 
cate on either side, the Ijasal lobe broad, slightly produced, 
broadly rounded; upper surface smooth, impunctate. 
Scutellum large, trigonate, its apex acute; surface ful- 
vous, stained at the base with piceous. Elytra oblong, not 
l)roader than the base of the thorax, sides feebly lobed at 
the base ; above convex, finely punctured, shining black, 
Avith a faint Ijluish tinge, a broad common band across 
the middle, dilated on the suture, and a large transverse 
subapical patch on each elytron, not touching either the 
sutural or apical margins, bright fulvous : in some speci- 
mens there are several small spots of the same colour on 
the basal margin. Legs robust in the $, rather more 
slender in the $. This insect must stand close to C. 
atraphaxides and its allies. 
Clythra IcBviuscula, Ratzeburg. 
Lac. INIon. Phyt. ii. 20G. 
Ilrib. — Hiogo ; a single specimen found on the oak. I 
also possess it from Chusan, collected by jNIr. A. Adams ; 
another specimen from Vladimir Bay, Mantchuria, taken 
by the same gentleman, has the hinder spot on the elytra 
nearly obsolete : this species is spread over the north of 
Asia, and nearly the whole of Europe. 
Genus Gynandrophtalma, Lac. 
Lac. Mon. Phyt. ii. 256. 
Three species of this genus arc at present known from 
Japan ; none of them, however, are ]ieculiar to that 
country ; one also inhabits India, the others extend over 
Northern Asia and a great part of Em'opc.
