INIas, abdomine segmento 7° ventrali apice triangu-

This veiy narrow and elongate species resembles our 

 European bimaculatus, but is quite distinct from it. 

 AntennjB pale yellow, long and slender ; 3rd joint much 

 longer than 2nd, 10th joint scarcely visibly stouter than 

 the 9th, quite twice as long as broad; 11th joint slender 

 and elongate, stouter than the 10th, about three times as 

 long as broad. Head rather broader than the thorax, 

 densely punctured and not shining, the eyes large and 

 prominent, their hind margin distant fi-om the hind angle 

 about as far as the length of the eye. Thorax much nar- 

 rower than the elytra, much longer than broad, much 

 narrowed behind. Elytra long and narrow, distinctly 

 narrower at their extremity, roughly and moderately 

 closely pmictured, a little shining ; each one has a narrow 

 elongate black dash commencing about the middle of 

 each and extending towards but not reaching the apex ; 

 this mark is in some specimens obsolete. Hind body very 

 elongate and narrow, distinctly broader towards the ex- 

 tremity, rather closely and distinctly punctured ; the 6th 

 segment black, and the 7th also dark except towards the 

 extremity. Legs very pale yellow. 



Two specimens, Orakami Marsh, Nagasaki. 



Also from China. One of these specimens is marked as 

 found in dung.

Antennae very long and slender, 3rd joint much longer 

 than 2nd, 4—10 each one considerably thicker at the ex-
