198 Mr. H. W. Bates on the 



Semanotus rufipennis, Motscli. 

 Callidium rufipenne, Motsch. Etudes Entoni. 1860, p. 19. 



Many examples. Varies in size from 3^- to 6 lines. The 

 prosternal process is much narrower, and the mesosternum 

 more attenuated behind, in the male than in the female ; but 

 their breadth in the former sex is much greater than in the 

 genus Callidium. The femora are less clavate, especially in 

 the female, and the thorax less dilated in the middle than in 

 Rhopalopus. Breeds in fir rails, and appears in first warm 

 days in March. 



Phymatodes albicinctus, n. sp. 



P. vario (Fab.) affinis, at differt colore nigro, elytris fascia angusta 

 alba. Niger, pubescens, elytris medio fascia angusta alba ; 

 capite retractili, f route et vertice planis, punctulatis ; thorace 

 creberrime sed discrete punctulato ; elytris planatis crebre punctu- 

 latis. Long. 3| lin. § . 



One example ; Omura. 



Closely resembling in size and form the North-American P. 

 varius. The pubescence is much shorter and more adpressed ; 

 the thorax is narrower, rather more narrowed behind than in 

 front, very evenly punctulated over its entire surface. The 

 elytra have in the middle a nearly straight, narrow, pure 

 Avhite belt. 



Glytantlms notabilis, Pascoe. 



Clytus notabilis, Pascoe, Journ. Entom. i. p. 360. 

 Clytanthus alphabeticus, Chevr. Clytides d'Asie et d'Oceauie (1863), 

 p. 56 (Anthoboscus). 



Many examples. Taken by Mr. Fortune also at Yokohama. 



Clytanthus oppositus, Chevr. 



Clytanthus oppositus, Chevr. Clytides d'Asie et d'Oceanie, p. 52. 

 C.japonicus, id. p. 46 ? 



Many examples. Abundant in June. 



The markings agree best with Chevrolat's description of C. 

 oppositus ; but they vary a little in the direction of C.japonicus, 

 and I suspect the two to belong to one and the same species. 



Clytanthus quinquefasciatus, Lap. & Gory. 

 Clytanthus quinquefasciatus, Lap. & Gory, Mon. p. 101, t. 19. f. 120. 

 Many examples. 



Clytanthus muscosus, n. sp. 



C. elongatus, gracillimus, pube viridi-grisea vestitus ; elytris utrinque 

 maculis duabus transversis nigris, una mox pone medium, altera
