 ropean species. 



Obrium longicorne, n. sp. 



0. brunneo paulo majus et latius, fulvo-testaceum, subtiliter dense 

 pubescens et longe setosum, haud nitidum ; oculis ( J ) max- 

 imis ; antennis eorpore duplo longioribus ; tborace ut in 0. 

 brunneo tuberculato, postice magis angustato, sparsim punc-

 2|lin. cj. 



One example. 



By the magnitude of its eyes this species approaches Sten- 

 homalus (White). 



Stenhomalus clero'ides, n. sp. 



S. nigro-fuscum, pubescens, antennis pedibusque rufo-testaceis, fe- 

 moribus tibiisque medio infuscatis ; thorace aureo-pubescente, 

 tubere laterali valido, basi constricto, supra sparsim punctato ; 

 elytris basin versus sparsim punctatis, pallido-testaceis macula 

 communi basali rhomboidea, altera subquadrata pone medium 

 antice obliqua, tertiaque parva transverse ante apicem nigro-fuscis. 

 Long. 3i lin. $ . 



Two examples, Ipongi. 



Differs from St. fenestratus (White) by the design on the 

 elytra. Their ground-colour is pale testaceous, with a large 

 spot at the base, touching the base on the scutellum, ending in 

 a point on the suture posteriorly, and leaving the shoulders 

 pale; a subtriangular spot follows this behind the middle, 

 narrowing to a point towards the suture. These two black 

 patches leave between them a very oblique V-shaped pale fascia. 

 The* pale apical part has in the middle a faint dusky spot. 

 The abdomen of the $ has a similar abnormal structure to that 

 of Obrium, the 2nd ventral segment having a long fringe of 

 hairs, and the 3rd to 5th being hidden in its posterior concavity. 



Distenia japonica, n. sp. 



D. magna, elongata, fusca, subtiliter pubescens, antennis pedibusque 

 subrufescentibus ; capite pone oculos tumido ; thorace lato, crebre 

 punctulato, disco utrinque bituberculato ; elytris apice angulo 

 suturali longe dentato, supra sparsim lineato-punctatis, dimidio 

 apicali laevi ; femoribus inermibus. Long. 11-14 lin. c? $ . 



Maiyasan, Hiogo ; many examples, found at night running 

 over fir trees. 



A typical Distenia, allied to D. undata, but differing from
