  Sharp 
  on 
  

  

  the 
  penultimate 
  joint 
  scarcely 
  so 
  long 
  as 
  broad, 
  the 
  four 
  

   terminal 
  joints 
  very 
  pale 
  yellow, 
  almost 
  white. 
  Head 
  broad, 
  

   quite 
  dull, 
  finely 
  and 
  not 
  densely 
  punctate, 
  and 
  with 
  a 
  rather 
  

   scanty, 
  fine, 
  dark 
  fuscous 
  pubescence. 
  Thorax 
  longer 
  than 
  

   broad, 
  the 
  sides 
  slightly 
  sinuate 
  in 
  front, 
  the 
  colour 
  and 
  

   sculpture 
  like 
  those 
  of 
  the 
  head. 
  Elytra 
  not 
  much 
  more 
  than 
  

   half 
  as 
  long 
  as 
  the 
  thorax, 
  dull 
  black. 
  Hind 
  body 
  a 
  little 
  

   enlarged 
  before 
  the 
  apex, 
  dull 
  black, 
  with 
  a 
  very 
  fine 
  pubes- 
  

   cence, 
  not 
  visibly 
  sculptured, 
  the 
  penultimate 
  segment 
  and 
  

   that 
  preceding 
  it 
  each 
  with 
  a 
  large 
  spot 
  of 
  golden 
  pubes- 
  

   cence 
  on 
  the 
  middle. 
  Legs 
  bright 
  yellow. 
  Terminal 
  ventral 
  

   plate 
  of 
  male 
  with 
  a 
  broad, 
  not 
  very 
  deep 
  excision. 
  

  

  We 
  have 
  no 
  species 
  like 
  this 
  in 
  Europe 
  ; 
  perhaps 
  0. 
  cethiops 
  

   is 
  the 
  least 
  dissimilar, 
  but, 
  in 
  addition 
  to 
  numerous 
  other 
  

   distinctions, 
  0. 
  dorsalis 
  has 
  a 
  well-marked 
  stigmatic 
  mem- 
  

   brane. 
  

  

  This 
  elegant 
  species 
  was 
  found 
  at 
  Niohozan 
  in 
  June, 
  near 
  

   where 
  snow 
  then 
  remained, 
  and 
  also 
  at 
  Chiuzenji 
  in 
  August. 
  

  

  Oci/pus 
  scutiger, 
  n. 
  sp. 
  

  

  Niger, 
  opacus 
  ; 
  pedibus 
  antennisque 
  piceis, 
  his 
  extrorsum 
  albides- 
  

   centibus 
  ; 
  abdomine 
  dilatato, 
  segmentis 
  duobus 
  penultimis 
  aureo- 
  

   maculatis 
  ; 
  elytris 
  abbreviatis. 
  

  

  Long. 
  23 
  millim. 
  

  

  Although 
  closely 
  allied 
  to 
  0. 
  dorsalis, 
  this 
  is 
  no 
  doubt 
  

   distinct 
  ; 
  it 
  is 
  considerably 
  larger 
  and 
  has 
  the 
  hind 
  body 
  

   broader, 
  the 
  legs 
  and 
  base 
  of 
  the 
  antennas 
  of 
  darker 
  colour, 
  

   and 
  the 
  latter 
  organs 
  rather 
  longer, 
  the 
  third 
  joint 
  especially 
  

   being 
  longer, 
  and 
  the 
  penultimate 
  joint 
  being 
  rather 
  longer 
  

   than 
  broad. 
  

  

  Only 
  two 
  examples 
  were 
  obtained 
  ; 
  Chiuzenji, 
  20th 
  

   August, 
  1881.

  This 
  is 
  found, 
  but 
  not 
  commonly, 
  under 
  the 
  bark 
  of 
  firs, 
  

   to 
  which 
  habitat 
  it 
  appears 
  to 
  be
