Longicorn Coleoptera of Japan. 385 



Similar in form to E. balteatus ; but the antennae decidedly 

 thicker and densely clothed with long hairs. Thorax of very 

 similar form. General colour brownish red. The elytra rather 

 densely and irregularly clothed with erect hairs ; each elytron 

 has the suture and five lines grey ; all (except the sutural) 

 interrupted behind the middle by a broad zigzag fascia of the 

 ground-colour, beyond which, near the apex, three short lines 

 only reappear. 



Exocentrus tonsus, n. sp. 



E. balteato forma similis, at multo minor, haud setosus. Oblongus, 

 testaceo-fuscus, incumbenti-pubescens ; capite thoraceque obscu- 

 rioribus, subtiliter crebre punctulatis, hoc spina laterali minus 

 obliqua; elytris sublineatim punctulatis, maculis transversis ir- 

 regulariter sparsim nebulosis ; antennis corpore longioribus, graci- 

 libus, haud setosis. Long. l|-lf lin. 



Nagasaki ; on ivy. 



Exocentrus guttulatus 7 n. sp. 



E. oblongus, convexus, subaeneo-niger, griseo-olivaceo pubcscens ; 

 elytris erecte setosis, pube grisco-olivacea lincatim guttatis et 

 pone medium fasciatis; antennis ciliatis, articulis basi griseo- 

 testaceis. Long. 3J lin. 



One example. 



Head and thorax rather smaller and elytra more ample than 

 in E. balteatus ; thoracic spine broad at the base, oblique and 

 acute. Elytra subseriate-punctulate, with single, erect, black 

 bristles and oblong spots of olive-grey pubescence arranged in 

 lines ; a belt of similar colour a little after the middle. The 

 antennae elongated, as in E. balteatus, moderately pubescent, 

 and finely ciliated beneath. 



Asapeeda, nov. gen. 



Facies Saperdarum, sed unguibus divergentibus, simplicibus. 

 Elongata, linearis. Caput exsertum, postice dilatatum. Oculi 

 fere divisi. Antennae tenues, filiformes ; scapo modice elongato, 

 cylindrico-ovato. Thorax transversus, postice constrictus, tuber- 

 culo valido laterali armatus. Elytra apice rotundata, simplicia. 

 Pedes breves ; coxoz anticae extus angulatae ; acetabula intermedia 

 extus aperta ; tibiae intermedia? extus sulcatte et tuberculatse ; 

 sterna inter coxas simplicia. 



This genus does not fall naturally into any of the numerous 

 " groupes " into which Lacordaire divides the Lamiadae with 

 simple antennal scape. It agrees best with the Apomecynince, 

 and has some resemblance to Eunidia, except its longer body 

 and stout thoracic lateral tubercles. I should be inclined to
