This species is much smaller than M. rufohrunnea^ Mars., 

 but otherwise it closely resembles it. The head is narrower 

 and the eyes less prominent (especially noticeable in the males), 

 and the joints of the antennse are less constricted at tlieir 

 bases. The colours of all my specimens are much darker than 

 those of Marseul's species. 



Hah. Chiuzenji, Miyanoshita, and in other places in the 

 plain of Fujisan. Beaten from flowering shrubs in June. 



Macrolagria hirsuta^ sp. n. 



Elongata, nigra, nitida, hirsuta ; elytris aeneo-nigris, punctato- 

 striatis, interstitiis transversim rugosis ; antennis piceis ; femoribus 

 nigris, tibiis tarsisque dilutioribus. 



L. 9|-10 mill. 



Elongate, pitchy black or black, shining, clothed with long- 

 scattered greyish hairs ; the head, surface uneven, irregularly 

 and coarsely punctate ; the thorax less coarsely and less closely 

 punctured than the head ; the elytra with a brassy greenish or 

 l3luish tint, punctate- striate, interstices irregularly and trans- 

 versely rugose, apices obtusely acuminate ; the antennae 

 piceous, with basal joint usually darker; the legs, thighs 

 blackish, tibise and tarsi less dark, usually obscurely brown 

 and blackish. 



I do not think this hairy species can be generically sepa- 

 rated from the last. 



Hah. Chiuzenji and Niohosan, in June. 



This species, Marseul says, occurs in China and Formosa, as 

 well as in Japan, The type example came from Satzuma, 

 and is unique in my collection. Monomma? japonicunij 

 Motsch., appears to me to be Cyrtotriplax Maacki^ Sols. ; the 

 species is founded apparently on a specimen without legs or 

 antennse, and may be considered a nondescript. 



Eurygenius niponicus, sp. n. (PI. VIII. fig. 9.) 



Elongatus, infuscatus, griseo-brunneo-pubescens, griseo-hirtus ; 

 elytris baud striatis, dense punctatis ; antennis pedibusque nigris. 

 L. 12 mill. 



Elongate, dusky, clothed with greyish-brown pubescence, 

 short and thickly set, and with long grey erect hairs ; the 

 head rather densely and roughly punctured, sculpture not
