38 Mr. G. Lewis on 



Scymnus hilaris, Motschulsky. 



Scymnus hilaris, Motsch. Etud. Eot. p. 119 (1858) ; Weise, Deutsche 

 ent. Zeit. p. 151 (1879). 



Weise has determined this species. The original specimen 

 Motschulsky had came from India, but the author's descrip- 

 tion is not satisfactory. 



Hob. Nagasaki, Kiga, and Tokio. Widely distributed 

 and common. 



Scymnus pagan us, sp. n. 



Ovalis, convexus, branneus, nitidus, griseo-pubescens ; thorace 



distincte punctata : elytris lateribus leviter punctulatis. 

 L. 2| mill. 



Oval, convex, uniformly brown, shining, with grey pubes- 

 cence ; the head obscurely punctulate ; the thorax distinctly 

 punctured, punctures rather coarse but not densely set; there 

 is an extremely fine basal line seen under the microscope j 

 the scutellum also punctured; the elytra are punctured 

 similar to the thorax in the scutellar region, but gradually 

 become finer to the apex and lateral margins, sometimes 

 behind the scutellum there is a small sutural area, somewhat 

 dusky ; the prosternum has a flat keel, with a lateral stria on 

 each side and the interspace rather roughly punctured ; the 

 mesosternum also punctured, but not densely. 



This species is much more oval than any of the preceding, 

 but not so oblong as the two following. 



Hab. Nagasaki, Yuyarna, and Oyama in Sagami. 



Scymnus for tunatus f sp. n. 



Oblongo-ovatus, pieeo-brunneus, convexus ; capite rufo ; thorace in 

 medio nigro ; elytris nigris, trausversim late bifasciatis, fasciis 

 rufo-sanguineis. 



L. 2§ mill. 



Oblong-oval, body pitchy brown, convex above and dis- 

 tinctly punctulate, with a grey pilosity ; the head red; the 

 thorax red, with a median area black, the black marking 

 extending along the base ; the scutellum black ; the elytra 

 black, with a transverse red handover the metasternum, band 

 anteriorly deeply bisinuous and externally not reaching the 

 epipleural margin ; at the suture a wider black margin is left, 

 posteriorly near the middle of the wing-case it connects with 

 a second rather smaller transverse band, apex widely black ; 

 the legs obscurely reddish brown.
