Hiogo. 
A curious species, distinguished by its rufous colour 
(rusty testaceous above, pallid beneath), and by the elytra 
narrowing from after the middle to the apex. The thorax 
is short and broad, but not so wide as the elytra; it 
broadens very slightly for a short distance from the ante- 
rior angles, and narrows again from the middle, almost 
imperceptibly to the base ; the posterior angles are quite 
rectangular, and the Avhole base is covered with punctures. 
The elytra have a shalloAV sinuation near the apex; the 
strife are simple and deep, and the setiferous puncture on 
the 3rd interstice is large and conspicuous. The anterior 
tibia3 have their anterior outer angles produced and 
oblique.

Yesso. 
Mr. Lewis did not meet with this, which is a shining 
black species, allied to H. limbatus, but with black legs 
and punctulated elytral interstices.

I have not seen Japanese specimens of this well-known 
European species.

Hakodadi ( MoraAvitz). 
Also a well-known European species. According to 
Morawitz, Japanese specimens differ in having crenated 
elytral stria3.

" Luteus, elytris nigris chalybeo-micantibus." 
I have seen nothing approaching the peculiar coloration 
of this species from Japan.
