sutural, and broader basal and lateral, margins of the 
ground colour. The legs are pale yellowish-tawny ; the 
antennre vary in colour, being rufous or fuscous, with the 
base pale. Beneath the body is shining black, punctured 
and pubescent. The four joints of the anterior tarsi of 
the male are very moderately dilated, triangidar, with the 
angles rounded.

As INIorawitz remarks, Japanese specimens differ from 
European in the obtuse hind angles of the thorax. I do 
not see clearly the other difference he points out, namely, 
the feeble sinuation of the apex of the elytra. They agree 
precisely in size and facies, and the obtuse thoracic angles 
arc shared in by East JSiberian specimens from Lake 
Baikal to Manchuria.

I see no difference between Japanese, Siberian and 
French specimens of this species ; the hind angles of the 
thorax are not quite so obtuse as in Japanese specimens 
of riijicornis. There remains only the relatively smaller 
head and broader flattened margins of the thorax (besides 
the inferior size) to distinguish griseus.
