As IMorawitz rightly observes, this species belongs to 
the same group as C. trisignata of Europe. In fact, it 
differs no more from C. trisignata than C. Japanensis 
does from C. hyhrida. It is a little smaller and less 
coppery in colour, and the white markings of the elytra 
are narrower, and more sharply limited. 
Osaka ; sandy places in August. Mr. Lewis also cap- 
tured the species abundantly on the shores of lakes at 
Kiu-Kiang, on the Yang-tsze, in China ; and I have a 
specimen taken by jNIr. Arthur Adams, on the coast of 
jNIanchuria. According to IMorawitz, it was met with by 
Maack and Radde on the Amur and Usuri rivers. 
C. Elisce of INIotschulsky may, perhaps, belong to the 
same species ; but if so, he has given not merely an in- 
sufficient but a false descrijjtion, so that his name cannot 
be adopted. 
C. speculifera, Chevrolat, Revue Zool., 1845, p. 97. 
Named from the small, mirror-like spot on the anterior 
part of the disk of each elytron in the $ ; a character in 
which it agrees Avith numerous other species more or less 
closely allied to it. Japanese specimens do not differ 
in the slightest from those of Ilong Kong. In size 
they vary from six to seven lines in length, -which is 
much larger than the Indian species C. undulata, Dt-j. 
(4.^ lines), with which it is united in Gemminger and 
Harold's Catalogue. 
It is found in Japan only during the summer rains in 
August, in moist paddy-fields and on roads. Hiogo, 
Nagasaki.

Of this well-known Siberian species, allied to the 
European C. germanica, Mr. Lewis obtained only one 
specimen, at Ipongi, near Nagasaki, in August.
