Nothus [Osphya) orientaUs, sp. n. 



Elongatus, niger, opacus, pubescens ; capite thoraceque punctulatis, 

 griseo-vestitis ; elytris late bifasciatis ; antennis (basi excepta) 

 uigris vel infuscatis, 



L. 6-6| mill. 



Elongate, black, opaque, pubescent ; the head with a short 

 and close greyish pubescence, rather closely punctulate; the 

 thorax punctulate and clothed like the head, arched at the 

 sides, very feebly sinuous before the scutelluni ; the scutellum 

 densely clothed with an ashen pile ; the elytra, punctulate, 

 with a very narrow ashen-grey margin along the suture and 

 a broad ashen fascia across the wing-case over the inter- 

 mediate coxffi and a second, rather narrower, well before the 

 apex ; the antennae, long and slender, three basal joints 

 flavous, 4-7 black, 8-11 infuscate ; the legs black, with 

 bases of the tibite ]mle.

Othnius, Leconte, 1861. 

 Elacatis, Pascoe, I860. 



There are only two species of this genus known from 

 Japan — 0. A'><7a/e/,E.eit., Deutsche ent. Zeitschr. 1879, p. 226, 

 and 0. ocularis, Lew., Ent. M. M. ser. 2, vol. ii. 1891, 

 p. 247. This genus is introduced here in the serial position 

 assigned to it by Leconte and Horn in the ' Classification of 

 the Coleoptera of North America,' 1883, p. 391. Pascoe's 

 name was preoccupied. 0. Kraatzi is common in all the 

 inland forests of Japan, but 0. ocularis is a tropical form, 

 found as yet only in the region of the Kumagawa in Higo. 

 The habits of the species are noticed, Ent. M. M. 1891, 

 p. 248. 



Eutrapela rohusticeps, sp. n. 



Elongata, seneo-nigra, nitida, hirsiita ; capite thoraceque vix 

 grosse punetatis ; elytris striatis, iuterstitiis transversim rugosis ; 

 antennis pedibusque nigris. 



L. 10 mm. 



Brassy black above, the antennaj and legs black, clothed 

 with longish hair, but not so long as that of E. elongata ; 

 the head rather broad and punctured, punctures large, but not 

 dense ; the thorax, anterior margin not raised, about as broad 

 as long, punctured like the head ; the elytra punctate-striate, 

 interstices transversely rugose. 



In form this species agrees fairly well with E. elongata^ F. ;
