2 Mr. David Sliarp on the 



channels, from Japan, nearly all are specifically distinct 

 from any found by Mr. Lewis. 



The indications of locality and habits are furnished by 

 Mr. Lewis himself; and, besides this, I have to thank 

 him greatly for the kind way in which he has answered 

 my questions, and done everything in his power to facili- 

 tate my work. 



L Falagria simplex, n. sp. Affinis F. suhrugosoB, 

 Kraatz. Testaceo-brunnea, capite abdomineque (basi 

 excepto) fuscis, antennarum basi pedibusque testaceis ; 

 prothorace subcordato, ])rofunde canaliculato, elytris circa 

 scutellum creberrime distinctius pnnctatis, apicem versus 

 vix punctulatis, abdomine sat crebre punctato. Long. 

 1—1^ lin. 



About the size and form of i^. sulcata, lighter in colour 

 than that species, from which it is readily distinguished by 

 its punctured but not channelled scutellum. Antenna3 

 yellow at the base, darker towards the extremity ; joints 

 4 — 6 quadrate, 7 — 10 rather broader than long. Head 

 blackish, scarcely punctured. Thorax similar in form 

 and in its channel to F. sulcata, of a castaneous colour. 

 Elytra yellowish, closely and distinctly punctured on each 

 side of the scutelkim, elsewhere but little punctured ; 

 the punctured part being a little darker ; they are quad- 

 rate, much broader and a little longer than the thorax. 

 The two basal segments of the hind body are yellowish, 

 the rest infuscate ; the two basal segments are transversely 

 depressed at the base, where they are rugose-punctate ; the 

 other segments are distinctly but not closely punctured. 

 The legs are pale yellow. 



Hiogo :* three specimens. 



2. Falagria sapida, n. sp. Fusca, opaca, elytris cum 

 antennis pedibusque testaceis, his plus minusve infuscatis; 

 dense obsoletissimeque punctulata, antennis pedibusque 

 elongatis. Long. If lin. 



Mas, prothorace disco concavo. 



Femina, prothorace medio canaliculato. 



Antennas elongate, yellow at the base, infuscate towards 

 the extremity, all the joints longer than broad. Head and 

 thorax opaque, but scarcely visibly punctured, of a smoky 

 or pitchy colour. Scutellum not channelled. Elytra pale 

 yellow, about as long as the thorax, a little impressed
