Nagasaki ; Yokoliama. 
Elytra spotted similarly to L. cj/at/u'f/era, hut the species 
belongs to the same group as L. Japonica, having deeply 
striated or sulcated elytra, and strongly bilobed 4th tarsal 
joints. The head and thorax are somewhat redder than 
the rest of the body and limbs, and are very finely aluta- 
ceous and sub-opake. The thorax is rather short and 
strongly transverse, Avith broad explanated margins, 
broadly rounded from the anterior angles and scarcely 
narrowed behind to the rather obtuse, but somewhat pro- 
minent, hind angles. The dark markings of the elvtra 
consist ])roperly of an elongate-ovate spot over the suture, 
about the middle, Avhicli is connected anteriorly with an 
ill-defined triangular one over the scutellum more piceous 
or reddish in colour, and of a rounded discoidal spot on 
each elytron behind the middle.

Nagasaki ; Hiogo ; many examples. 
No difference is perceptible between Japanese examples 
and those of Europe, except in the colour of the legs; the 
hind trochanters, the apex of all the femora, the tibire and 
the tarsi being black. It approaches nearest, therefore, 
the S. European var. nic/ripes. I have specimens from 
East Siberia, some coloured as in the type, and others in 
which the apex of the femora and the tarsi are black.

Nagasaki ; on foliage. 
Two examples, agreeing exactly with the description, 
except their larger size, 2f lin., Schmidt-Goebel giving 
2\ lin., but he had only a single specimen to judge fi-om. 
P. nigripennis, n. sp. 
Nigra ; elytris nitidis fortiter punctato-striatis, margine 
deflexofusco; thorace testaceo-rufo, nitido ; antennis piceis; 
pedibus flavo-testaceis, fusco-ncbulosls. 
'Scopodcs (Erichs.) probably belongs to this subfamily.
