scnl|)tured above ; the Iiead reddish brown ; the thorax red- 

 dish brown behind the head, the rest int'uscate, less pubescent 

 on the reddish part than behind, thoracic t'oveaj shallow and 

 somewhat triangular ; the elytra, mai-gins of the suture infiia- 

 cate, and at the base of the wing-case, and sometimes touching 

 the basal edge, is a dark longitudinal blotch which joins the 

 sutural marking and at about half its length it spreads out 

 towards the lateral edge, over the second segment of the 

 abdomen is a dark undulating fascia which extends quite 

 across the elytra, at the apex is a third dark marking which 

 leaves a very narrow reddish margin on the outer edge ; the 

 antenna3 and legs reddish brown, with 7-10 joints of the first 

 generally dusky. 'J'his species and the next agree with 0. 

 undulata^ Kraatz, in having the last four antennal joints 

 enlarged and forming a club. 



The elytral markings of this and 0. iinitans differ from 

 0. undidata^ Kraatz ; otherwise they are not very dissimilar. 

 Huh. Junsai. Several specimens. 



Orchcsia inntans, sp. n. 



EUiptica, rufo-brunnea, pubescens ; elytris trifasciafcis, lateralibua 



iu medio nigro-maculatis ; aatennis pedibusque brunneo-rufis. 

 L. 4-4i milL 



Elliptical, reddish brown, densely sculptured, pubescent ; 

 the head and thorax unicolorous ; thoracic fovea wide and 

 shallow ; the elytra, margins of the suture infuscate, at the 

 base is a somewhat similar marking to that of 0. elegantula, 

 but less defined in outline, the middle fascia is broader and 

 in front of it near the lateral edge is a detached dark spot, 

 the apical marking is rather broader and the margin less 

 distinctly red ; the antennae and legs reddish brown, with 

 7-10 joints of the first dusky. 



Sniidler than 0. elegantula^ with the tliorax usually wholly 

 reddish brown. The detached spot near the middle of the 

 elytral margin is also a conspicuous specific character. 



Hah. Ichiuchi, Miyanoshita, and other places; not un- 

 common in South and Central Japan. 



Orchesia ocularis, sp. n. 



EUiptica, pallide rufo-brunnea ; thorace obscure brutineo vol infus- 



cato ; antennis pedibusque coucoloribus. 

 L. 5i-5| miU. 



Elliptical, rather pale reddish brown ; the eyes coarsely 

 granulate, very large, in male nearly meeting above, female 

 with the space between the eyes much wider ; the thorax
