196 Mr. Joseph S. Baly on the 



Genus Mantura, Steph. 



111. Brit. Ent. iv. 322, 1831. 



Balanomorpha, Chevr. Diet. d'Orb. ii. 1842. 



Stephens' name for the present genus has more than ten 

 years' priority over Chevrolat's, therefore I have adopted it. 



Mantura rustica, Lin. 



Fond. Mon. Alt. 271. 



Hab. — Japan, a single specimen; also the whole of 

 Europe.

 whole of Europe.

Elongata, convexa, nigra, nitida, pedibus nigro-piceis, 

 antennis basi, genubus tarsisque piceis ; thorace longi- 

 tudine fere dimidio latiori, angulis posticis late rotundatis,
