Colpodes sylphis, Bates. 



Bates, Trans. Ent. Soc. Lond., 1873, p. 277. 



Previously recorded from Hiogo only. Mr. Lewis has 

 since found it abundantly at Miyanoshita, Oyama, Chiu- 

 zenji. It is similar in general form to C. chloreis, but 

 differs by its brighter metallic colouring, more broadly 

 margined thorax, with projecting hind angles, &c. 



Colpodes Hakonus, Harold. 



Harold, Deutsche Ent. Zeitschr., 1878, p. 213. 



Hakone (Donitz) ; Miyanoshita (Lewis). 



Many specimens taken by Mr. Lewis differ from 

 Harold's description, and from examples taken at Miya- 

 noshita, in the hind angles of the thorax being obtuse or 

 rounded, without any trace of " die ausserste spitze 

 jedoch ziemlich scharf." I can detect no other diffe- 

 rence : they are from Nikko, Iwaki San, Chiuzenji, Yu- 

 yama, and also from Miyanoshita, where the type- 

 form occurs.
