Geodejyhagous Coleojytera of Japan. 285 
P. cupreus in the longer thorax, the sides of which are 
less rounded, and fall less obliquely to the posterior angle, 
thus causing a rather broader postero-lateral margin. The 
basal foveas are in the same position as in P. cupreus.

Hakodadi ( Morawitz). 
Mr. Lewis's collection does not contain this species.

Hakodadi. Also coast of Manclnn-ia. 
Mr. Lewis did not meet with this species, distinguished 
by its smooth thorax, with a sharply-marked, linear, basal 
fovea, like the Ahaccti. It is curious that the description 
almost exactly suits the jN^ortli American Pt. {Larjarus)

Hiogo ; Nagasaki, abundant. 
The prosternal process is margined at the apex, as in the 
typical Lagari ; but the palpi are decidely truncated in 
the $ , less so in the 2 . 
Pt. [Lagarus) proccjjhalus, n. s]). 
Oblongus, nigro-nitidus, palpis testaceo-rufis, antennia 
pcdibusque piceo-rufis ; capitc elongato, oculis vix promi- 
nulis ; thorace longo, lateribus aqualitcr arcuatis, basi 
iitrinque foveis duabus elongatis profundis punctatis, an- 
gulis posticis obtusis sed dentatis ; elytris iridescentibus, 
fortiter striatis, striis crenulatis; interstitiis subplanis, 3'° 
unipunctato ; corpore subtus lateribus grosse punctato. 
Long. 4 lin. S ? . 
Nagasaki ; abundant. 
A species distinguished by its rather long head and 
scarcely prominent eyes. The anterior angles of the thorax 
are acute, but not produced, as in Pt. inicroccpJialus ; the 
sides are regularly rounded, and the posterior angles would 
be rounded oft', Avere it not for a small projecting tooth. 
There is a very short scutellar striole.
