tlioraceque dense strigoso-punctatis ; elytris abdomineque 

 simpliciter punctatis. Long. 1^ lin. 



Antennae long and rather stout, reaching to about the 

 end of the elytra, reddish in colour, 1st joint as long as 

 the three or four following together, 2 — 8 each longer 

 than broad, the 8th a httle broader than its predecessor, 

 9 — 11 of about similar breadths, 9 rather longer than 10, 

 its upper angle on the inner side a little sliced off and 

 smooth, 11th joint but little longer than 9th. Head nar- 

 rower than the thorax, densely strigose, Avith three small 

 fovete filled up with i^ubescence, the front one placed in 

 the middle at the base of the produced front, the others, 

 one on each side between the eyes. Thorax only about 

 half the width of the elytra, rather longer than broad, 

 convex both transversely and longitudinally, densely stri- 

 gose, in the middle with a fine channel, and also Avith 

 three very small foveje filled Avith pubescence. Elytra 

 scarcely longer than the thorax, broader at the extremity 

 than at the shoulders, rather coarsely but indistinctly and 

 not densely punctured, each Avith a sutural and discoidal 

 stria, these furnished at the base Avith a small fovea filled 

 Avith pubescence ; their hind margin densely pubescent. 

 Hind body very strongly margined, and distinctly punc- 

 tured. Legs elongate ; anterior trochanters Avith a long 

 slender spine, middle ones AA^th a shorter, but A^ery distinct 

 spine, hind trochanters not spined ; anterior and middle 

 femora also spined in a manner similar to the trochanters. 



Nagasaki. Three specimens, near decayed leaA'es in 

 the Avood of SuAvo-sama. 



The preceding description is, I haA-e but little doubt, 

 applicable only to the male sex. Mr. Lcaa^s has another 

 specimen, not taken with those mentioned above (appa- 

 rently), but Avhich I have but little doubt is the female. It 

 differs asfolloAvs : — Antennas rather more slender, 8th joint 

 not larger than the predecessors, 9th joint more slender 

 than in the other sex, simple ; spines of the trochanters 

 much shorter. 



2. Centrotoma pi'odlga, n. sp. Castanea, setulis brevis- 

 simis, erectis, adspersa ; prothorace transverso ; antenuis 

 pedibusque minus elongatis. Long, fere 1 lin. 



Antennas short, joints 3 — 9 scarcely differing from one 

 another, transverse, joint 10 a little broader than 9, also 

 transverse, 11th rounded at its extremity, twice as long as 

 the 10th. Head Avith two small foveas on tlie vertex, and
