  The 
  hind 
  body 
  is 
  elongate 
  and 
  Philon 
  thus-like, 
  with 
  

   a 
  somewhat 
  close 
  punctuation 
  and 
  apparently 
  depressed 
  

   pubescence. 
  

  

  A 
  single 
  female 
  example 
  was 
  found 
  at 
  Miyanoshita 
  in 
  

   May 
  1880; 
  it 
  is 
  unfortunately 
  in 
  a 
  decayed 
  condition, 
  so 
  

   that 
  it 
  will 
  not 
  bear 
  proper 
  cleansing. 
  

  

  Anisolinus 
  elegans,

  Elongatus, 
  angustulus, 
  opacus, 
  niger 
  ; 
  antermarum 
  articulis 
  ultimis 
  

   quatuor 
  albidis, 
  pedibus, 
  palpis 
  elytrorutaque 
  fascia 
  lata 
  basali 
  

   rnfis, 
  femoribus 
  fuscis 
  ; 
  abdominis 
  segmento 
  ultimo 
  fascia 
  basali 
  

   flava 
  ; 
  densissime 
  punctatus. 
  

  

  Long. 
  12 
  millim. 
  

  

  Antennae 
  slender, 
  each 
  joint 
  much 
  longer 
  than 
  broad. 
  

   Head 
  circular, 
  very 
  densely 
  and 
  somewhat 
  coarsely 
  punctate, 
  

   with 
  only 
  a 
  small 
  spot 
  on 
  the 
  middle 
  smooth. 
  Thorax 
  elon- 
  

   gate, 
  nearly 
  straight-sided, 
  but 
  the 
  sides 
  a 
  little 
  narrowed 
  in 
  

   a 
  curve 
  to 
  the 
  deflexed 
  and 
  obscure 
  front 
  angles, 
  the 
  surface 
  

   extremely 
  densely 
  subrugosely 
  punctate, 
  the 
  interstices 
  being 
  

   indistinct. 
  Elytra 
  about 
  as 
  long 
  as 
  the 
  thorax, 
  with 
  a 
  large 
  

   red 
  basal 
  band 
  less 
  extended 
  at 
  the 
  suture 
  ; 
  very 
  densely, 
  

   finely, 
  and 
  indistinctly 
  punctate, 
  with 
  extremely 
  fine 
  de- 
  

   pressed 
  pubescence. 
  Hind 
  body 
  dull, 
  obsoletely 
  punctured, 
  

   except 
  at 
  the 
  base 
  of 
  each 
  segment, 
  where 
  the 
  punctuation 
  is 
  

   definite. 
  The 
  male 
  front 
  tarsi 
  are 
  moderately 
  dilated 
  and 
  the 
  

   apical 
  ventral 
  plate 
  has 
  a 
  slight 
  apical 
  emargination 
  preceded 
  

   by 
  a 
  depressed 
  smooth 
  space. 
  

  

  A 
  single 
  example 
  was 
  met 
  with 
  at 
  Miyanoshita 
  in 
  May 
  

   1880. 
  

  

  Amicheotus,

  Mandibular 
  elongatse, 
  graciles 
  ; 
  palpi 
  tenues 
  ; 
  labiales 
  elongati, 
  

   articulo 
  secundo 
  quam

  vix 
  longiore 
  ; 
  ligula 
  parva, 
  integra. 
  

   Prothorax 
  angulis 
  anterioribus 
  rotundatis. 
  Coxae 
  intermedise 
  

   contiguse. 
  Mesosternum

  longitudinaliter 
  carinatum. 
  

  

  This 
  very 
  distinct 
  genus 
  is 
  allied 
  to 
  the 
  Central-American 
  

   genus 
  Misantlius, 
  but 
  is 
  readily 
  distinguished 
  by 
  the 
  different 
  

   proportions 
  of 
  the 
  joints 
  of 
  the 
  labial 
  palpi, 
  the 
  middle 
  joint 
  

   being 
  only 
  about 
  twice 
  as 
  long 
  as 
  the 
  basal 
  and 
  scarcely 
  

   longer 
  than 
  the 
  terminal 
  joint. 
  The 
  second 
  joint 
  of 
  the 
  max- 
  

   illary 
  palpi 
  is 
  thickened 
  to 
  a 
  much 
  greater 
  extent 
  than 
  usual 
  ; 
  

   the 
  terminal 
  portion 
  of 
  the 
  mandible 
  remarkably 
  long, 
  slender, 
  

   and 
  acute. 
  The 
  side-piece 
  of 
  the 
  prothorax 
  is 
  peculiar 
  in 
  its
