386 Mr. H. W. Bates on the 



institute with it a distinct group, to range near the Agapan- 

 thince. 



Asaperda rujlpes, n. sp. 



A. atro-fusca, opaca, tenuiter griseo-pubescens ; scutello et sutura 

 griseis ; pedibus rufis ; antennis rufescentibus, scapo apicibusque 

 articulorum nigro-fuscis ; corpore supra crebre punctulato. Long. 

 4i-5| lin. 



Hiogo. 



Some specimens appear abraded and have no trace of grey 

 suture and scutellum ; and the antennas are sometimes quite 

 black. 



Asaperda agapanthina, n. sp. 



A. aeneo-fusca, tomento olivaceo-griseo nebulosa ; pedibus et antennis 

 rufescentibus, harum articulis basi pallidioribus. Long. 5 lin. 



Awomori ; Yokohama. 



This species bears much resemblance to an Agapanthia. 

 The olivaceous grey clothing of the elytra is interrupted by 

 numerous roundish spots and by an indistinct fascia across 

 the middle ; the thoracic tubercles are large and acute. 



Agapanthia pilicornis, Fab. 



Agapanthia pilicornis, Fab. Ent. Syst. i. 2, p. 310. 



One example, agreeing with others which I obtained from 

 Maack's collection from East Siberia. 



Fabricius describes the base of the antennal joints from the 

 third as " subferrugineo." Some examples from East Siberia 

 haveyellowish bases to the joints, and others (like the Japanese 

 specimens) grey ; I am not sure that they are not distinct 

 species. Motschulsky describes the form with yellowish bases 

 as A. fascicuhsa (Etudes Entom. 1860, p. 41), evidently con- 

 sidering the other form the true pilicomis. 



Saperda sanguinolenta, Thomson. 



Cagosima sanguinolenta, Thomson, Syst. Ceranib. p. 116. 



Hiogo, many examples. 



It is not mentioned in the description of the genus Cagosima, 

 instituted for this species by M. Thomson, in what it differs 

 from the genus Saperda. It appears to be perfectly congeneric 

 with S. scalaris &c. 



Thyestes Gebleri, Falderm. 



Saperda Gebleri, Falderm. Col. ab ill. Bungio in China Bor. &c. p. 434, 



t. v. f. 6. 

 Thyestes pubescens, Thomson, Syst. Ceramb. p. 116. 



Yokohama ; also Manchuria and N. China.
