Geodephagous Coleopiera of Japan. 279 
Hiogo ; Nagasaki. Also at Kiu-Kiaiig on the Yaug- 
tsze and at Shanghai, in China ; apparently common. 
Distingnished from A. jjrotensus by the more elongate 
tliorax, more gradually narrowed behind and with pitchy- 
rufous cxjilanated margins. The elytra too are very much 
longer. The thorax is less than one half the width of the 
elytra, a little broader than long, with rather wide ex- 
planated margins, which are turned up, especially at the 
obtuse hind angles, and are more or less rufous-pitchy in 
colom-. The elytra are of great relative dimensions, more 
than three times the length of the thorax. The legs and 
tarsi are as in protensus and anfjusticollis. 
Anchomenus leucopiis, n. sp. 
Gracilis, niger parum nitidus ; antennarum scapo palpis- 
quc rufo-tcstaceis, pedibus albo-testaceis ; thorace elongato- 
quadrato-cordato, angulis anticis acutis, posticis rectis; 
elytris oblongo-ovatis, fortiter punctato-striatis, interstitio 
3io tripnnctato. 
Long. 4 lin. $ . 
Tango ; two examples. 
Allied to A. prasi?i7is and extensicollis; dull black above 
and beneath, contrasting with the white legs. The antennse 
are very elongate, dull black, except the basal joint Avhich 
is tawny-reddish. The palpi are long and slender and of 
a redder testaceous tint than the legs. The head is more 
narrowed behind the eyes than in A. prasimis. The 
thorax is moderately elongated, with acute anterior angles, 
sides softly rounded anteriorly, sinuate-angustate posteriorly 
and with almost acute hind angles ; the surface is strongly 
wrinkled transversely, the wrinkles mingled with punctures 
Avhich are much denser on each side of the base. The 
elytra arc less ovate than in A. j)rasin7is, the strire very 
deep and sharji, with a very regular punctuation ; the third 
interstice has in its middle three punctures. 
A. {Agonian) dahnio, n. sp. 
Species elegantissima. Elongato-ovatus, gracilis, flavo- 
testacens, capite vittaque lata suturali viridi-a3neis.

Yokohama ; also in China, at Foochow.
