Staplti/linida of Jitpun. 17 



32. Cilea silplioiden, Lin. Two specimens appear to 

 be quite similar to our European individuals. 



33. Copi'oporus spec. ? There is a single mutilated 

 individual only of this species, closely resembling the 

 C. cole Incus, but considerably larger; I must leave its 

 description till more specimens are obtained, but I think 

 it worth while to mention the occurrence of the genus in 

 Japan. 



34. Tachyporus celalus, n. sp. Nigricans, antennis 

 piceis, basi pedibusque testaceis ; thorace elytrisque rufo- 

 testaceis, his lateribus nigris. Long. 1^ lin. 



Mas, tarsis anticis leviter dilatatis, intermediis simplici- 

 bus, abdomine seg. 7" ventrali triangulariter emarginato, 

 6"^ simplice. 



Var. Prothorace elytrisque piceo-infuscatis. 



This species is closely allied to T. A-scopulatus, Pand. ; 

 it is similar in colour (except that the head and thorax are of 

 a redder-yellow colour,) and in form, and also in the structure 

 of the antenna?, but is readily distinguished by the male 

 characters, the front tarsi in that sex being only slightly 

 dilated, and the intermediate tarsi quite simple. Our 

 British T. humerosiis is smaller, and has the hind margin 

 of the 6th segment beneath distinctly emarginate in the 

 male, while this segment is quite simple in celatus. The 

 dark variety somewhat approaches T. pusillus in appear- 

 ance. 



Common. 



Besides the T. celatus there is a single specimen of 

 another very distinct species in Mr. Lewis's collection. 

 It has imfortunately lost its antennae, and must remain 

 without name till more specimens are found. 



35. Conurus germanus, n. sp. Nigricans, antennarum 

 basi pedibusque testaceis, elytris thorace evidenter longi- 

 oribns, basi late indeterminate rufescentibus. Long. 2\ lin. 



Closely allied to the European C. puhescens, and only 

 easily distinguished therefrom by the structure of the 

 antennjB ; these organs are not quite so long and are 

 much less thickened towards the extremity than they 

 are in pubescens. They are yellow at the base, more 

 or less dark towards the extremity, with the apical joint
