laintly dusky, especially on the disk, with the fore part red- 

 dish, sculpture very clear and rather larger than that of the 

 head; the elytra clear reddish brown, without fasciae; the 

 antenna? and legs testaceous ; the eighth joint of the antenna? 

 is not longer than the seventh, the three terminal joints torm 

 a club, which is much stouter than that of O. MarseuU. 

 Hab. Kashiwagi, in June. 



Orchesia MarseuU^ sp. n. 

 Orchesia micans, Panz. ; Mars. Ann. Soc. Ent. Fr. p. 333 (1870). 



This species differs structurally from 0. micans m being 

 larger and much more elongate, the thorax less broad at the 

 base, and the basal joint of the hind tarsus is more than one- 

 third longer. Marseul's determination rested on indifferent 

 specimens. 



Hah. Kashiwagi, Fukushiraa, Chiuzenji, and Junsai. 



Microscapha japonica^ Reitter. 

 Lederia japonica, Reit. Deutsclie eut. Zeitschr. p. 30 (1891), 



Hah. Kashiwagi and Nagasaki. Rather common in hay- 

 stack-refuse at the latter place in March. 



Microscapha foenilis^ sp. n. 



Elliptica, convexa, piibescens, obscure bruunea, supra minutissime 



strigosa ; antennis articulis primo et secundo robustis. 

 L. 1| mill. 



This species is much broader than M. japonica and much 

 darker in colour ; the two basal joints of the antennee are 

 shorter and much stouter. The abdominal segments of the 

 male in both species are very curious ; there is a broad channel 

 in the middle bordered by a carina : the channel equally 

 occupies all the segments, but in M. japonica it is compara- 

 tivey shallow. 



The two basal joints of the antennae in this genus are 

 remarkable for their size and length. 



Hah, Simabara and Nagasaki. Two examples. 



Microscapha lata, sp. n. 



Ovalis, convexa, pubescens, piceo-brunnea, nitida ; elytris apice per- 



spicue dehiscentibus ; antermis pedibusque testaceis. 

 L. 2^ mill. 



This species is at once known from the two preceding by 

 its larger size, greater breadth, and the gaping apices of the 

 wing-cases, and also by the absence of a sternal sulcus in 

 front of the posterior coxae. The abdomen is only feebly
