Geodephagous Coleoptera of Japan. 311 
Nagasaki, on hills 2,000 feet, under stones ; three ex- 
amples. 
Allied to C. Faldermanni (Chaud.), but the thorax 
differently shaped, and the pubescence shorter and more 
erect, &c. Head gradually naiTOwed (but rather full) 
behind the eyes, shining blueish-black, coarsely punc- 
tured. Palpi and antenna testaceous-red. Thorax con- 
vex, cordate ; sides anteriorly strongly rounded, posteriorly 
narrowed and deeply sinuated, with projecting hind angles, 
which form broad triangular lobes ; the short basal lobe occu- 
pies nearly the whole of the base, there being on each side 
only a rectangular indentation, which leads rather obliquely 
to the apex of the angle ; the whole surface is coarsely and 
closely punctiired ; the dorsal line is distinctly marked, the 
lateral margins not at all explanated. The elytra are 
very deeply punctate-striate, with convex interstices, and 
the apex is obtusely rounded rather than truncated ; the 
apical spot is of a brighter steel blue than the head and 
thorax ; along the sides it reaches half-way up the elytra, 
but it is sinuated in the middle, almost to the apex, by the 
tawny-red ground colour; the limits of the two colours are 
Avell defined throughout. 
Subfam. CALLEIDINiE. 
Endynomena Leicisii, n. sp. 
Oblonga, subdepressa, erecte pubescens, fusco-picea ; 
antennis, partibus oris, pedibus, marginibusque thoracis 
et elytrorum rufo-piceis ; oculis exstantibus ; thorace lato, 
lateribus antice et angulis anticis valde late rotundatis, 
longe post medium sinuatim angustatis, angulis posticis 
obtusis, basi lobo lato brevissirao ; elytris quadratis, punc- 
tatis, punctulato-striatis. 
Long. 4| — 5 lin. 
Nagasaki ; many examples. 
Differs from E. Pradieri (the only other described 
species) in the very convex prominent eyes, the head 
abruptly narrowed behind them; in the rudiment of a 
basal lobe to the thorax, and the distinctly striated elytra. 
It agrees with the other characters of the genus, the 
pluri-setose ligula, toothed mentum, sinuate and rounded 
labrum, hairy surface of the tarsi, and so forth ; and as I 
have another species fi'om Bombay exactly intermediate be- 
tween E. Lewisii and Pradieri, there is reason for referring 
them all to one genus, giving a little extension to the defini- 
tion drawn up by Baron Chaudoir. The insect is much
