Staphyllnidce of Japan. 97 



180. Lesteva fenestrata, n. sp. Fusca, nitidula, sub- 

 tiliter punctata, antennis elongatis basi rufis, elytro slngulo 

 basin versus macula indeterminata rufa. Long. If liu. 



This species is very distinct bj reason of the markings 

 of the elytra, and the very long and slender antennjB. In 

 form and sculpture it resembles L. puhescens. Antennas 

 very slender, reaching half-way to the back of the elytra ; 

 the two basal joints yellow, the middle ones infuscate, the 

 apical ones a little paler again. Head small, greatly nar- 

 rower than the thorax, densely punctured, deeply sulcate 

 on each side. Thorax only half as broad as the elytra, 

 broader than long, much narrowed behind, finely and 

 closely punctured, with two ill-defined impressions on the 

 disc, and a third transverse one behind these. Elytra 

 more than twice as long as the thorax, shining, very deli- 

 cately pubescent, closely punctured, each one with an ill- 

 defined reddish spot near the base. Legs red. 



Two specimens. Kawatchi. 



181. Olophrinn simplex, n. sp. Piceum, capite nigri- 

 cante, thorace elytrisque flavescentibus, his stepius late 

 infuscatis ; antennis pedibusque testaceis, illis medio late 

 infuscatis ; elytris thorace duplo lougioribus, crebre, minus 

 fortiter, subseriatim punctatis. Loug. 1^ — 2 lin. 



This insect appears to be quite as much allied to Deli- 

 phrum tectum as to the species of Oloplirum, and will 

 probably ultimately have to be assigned to a genus inter- 

 mediate between the two. The tibios are slender and very 

 feebly spined. Antennre rather slender, longer than head 

 and thorax, scarcely at all thickened towards the extremity, 

 yellowish, the intermediate joints more or less infuscate; 3rd 

 joint rather longer than 2ud, lOtli rather longer than broad. 

 Palpi yellow. Head small, not much more than half as 

 broad as the thorax, black, finely and sparingly punctured. 

 Thorax very transverse, much narrower than the elytra ; 

 the sides gently rounded, sparingly and rather finely punc- 

 tuated, shining yellow, with a fovea on each side close to 

 the lateral mai-gin. Elytra elongate, but leaving a large 

 part of the hind body exposed, quite twice as long as the 

 thorax, yellow ; the disc generally broadly infuscate, mode- 

 rately coarsely punctured, the punctures somewhat arranged 

 in rows. Legs yellow. Metasternum coarsely punctured
