other parts infuscate. Some allowance must be made 

 variation, but my specimens are fairly constant in colour. 



Hah. Miyanosliita, Chiuzenji, and Nishimura in June. 

 Ten examples. 



EURYZILORA, gen. nov. 



The species of this genus is oblong and wide, resembling 

 in outline a species of Luciola. Palpi robust, last joint cultri- 

 form ; antennse slender, joints 4-10 scarcely obconical, last joint 

 elongate; head somewhat broad, eyes rather prominent; thorax 

 transverse, arched laterally ; scutellura rather wide, semi- 

 circular behind ; elytra parallel laterally, depressed, striate ; 

 legs and tarsi more robust and shorter, but similar to those of 

 Zilora. The last joint of the palpus is long and parallel at 

 tlie sides as compared with that of Zilora (agreeing more with 

 Phloeotrya) ^ the genus to which it is in most respects similar. 



Euryzilora lividipennis, sp. n. (Fig. 2.) 



Oblonga, piceo-brunnea, nigro-pubescens ; thoraee 4-foveolato ; ely- 



tria striatis, lividis ; antennis basi pedibusque rufo-bruuaeis. 

 L. 11-11| miU. 



Oblong, pitchy brown, with black pubescence obliquely 

 erect ; the head rather wide and uneven, irregularly and not 

 closely punctured ; the thorax, sometimes reddish in parts, 



punctured like the head, median channel not well defined, 

 basal fovea shallow, with a second in front of it, but nearer 

 the middle of the disk, deeper ; the elytra rugosely striate, 

 interstices rather convex and obscurely punctate- or rough, 

 lateral margins narrowly dull reddish brown ; the antennse, 

 three basal joints reddish, others more or less dusky ; the leo-3 

 wholly reddish brown. 



Hab. Chiuzenji and Nikko. Three examples only.
