type they are ten jointed and the apical joint is not as long as in the 

 paratype; lateral ocelK distinctly in front of the supraorbital Hne; 

 posterior orbits narrower than in the subgenus Ermilia, or Taxonus 

 and the occiput and posterior margin of the cheeks are not carenated; 

 anterior tibiae with only one well-defmed apical spur, which is simple 

 at the apex, the second spur being very short; third cubital cell 

 longer than the two basal ones; first segment of the abdomen (basal 

 plates) with a longitudinal suture, but this and the space between 

 the first and second segments is chitinized, while in Ermilia they are 

 membranous; sheath robust; cerci concealed. 



With more material this may be raised to generic rank. 



ERIOCAMPA MITSUKURII, new species. 



Related to E. umhiatica (Klug), but may at once be distinguished 

 by the strongly punctured head. 



Male. — Length 6 mm. Clypeus coarsely punctured, the anterior 

 margin arcuately emarginate; antennal foveas well defined, shining; 

 middle fovea large, well defined, transversely quadrate; ocellar basin 

 w^ell defmed, the lower wall not so well defined, extending to the 

 middle fovea, triangular in outline; postocellar area well defined 

 laterally, with a distinct median longitudinal carina; postocellar fur- 

 row wanting; postocellar Hne not as long as the ocellocipital line; 

 head, including the posterior orbits, strongly coarsely punctured; 

 antennae slender, the third joint but little shorter than the fourth 

 and fifth; pronotum, mesopleurae punctured hke the head; mesono- 

 tum shining with a few widely scattered punctured, scutellum with 

 the punctures closer; mesopleurae sliining; stigma nearly parallel- 

 sided, the apex obhquely truncate; hypopygidium very broadly 

 rounded at the apex. Black; four anterior legs below the femora 

 brownish white. Wings hyahne, faintly dusky; venation brown.

HEMITAXOMUS JAPONICUS, new species. 



Black; clypeus, labrum, angles of pronotum, tegulae and legs, in 

 part, pale. 



Male. — Length 6 mm. Clypeus nearly truncate, granular; labrum 

 rather narrowly rounded; antennae foveae sharply defined, extending 

 from the clypeus to the transverse facial carina; middle fovea well 

 defined, broader above; below this fovea is an indistinct angled fur- 

 row; ocellar basin sharply defined, hexagonal; postocellar furrow nar-
