264 Mr. H. W. Bates' supplement to the 



India, and Ceylon. I think it very probable that all 

 three are perfectly distinct species. Macleay's descrip- 

 tion is so short and vague that it would apply to all, and 

 neither Eschscholtz nor Chaudoir seems to have examined 

 an example from Java. A good series of a species from 

 Java, which I obtained from Dr. Mohnike's collection, 

 show a form of apical truncature quite different from 

 that described by the other authors, the margin near the 

 suture being straight for a short space, and armed at 

 each angle (on each elytron) with a short tooth or spine, 

 making the apex briefly quadrispinose. This may be 

 the true C. ruficeps. Eschscholtz 's species seems to 

 have a slight sinuation, causing the suture to be simply 

 acute. Chaudoir' s differs in having the epipleurse of 

 the elytra red. 



Euplynes Batesi, Harold. 



Harold, Deutsche Ent. Zeitschr., 1877, p. 341. 



Mohezi. 



Mr. Lewis obtained this interesting insect in the 

 Yokohama district, at Bukenji and Miyanoshita, and 

 also at Junsai, in flowers and on foliage. Harold is 

 undoubtedly right in referring it to the genus Euplynes, 

 Schmidt-Goebel, which Chaudoir so strangely misunder- 

 stood, treating Euplynes viridipennis as a species of 

 Colpodes allied to C. ruficeps. It is distinguished from 

 Colpodes by the 4th tarsal joint being strongly bilobed in 

 all the feet. 



Perigona acupalpo'ides. 



Acupalpo meridiano haud dissimilis. Subdepressa, 

 castaneo-nigra, abdomine, partibus oris, antennis, pedi- 

 bus, macula quadrata humerali suturaque, runs ; capite 

 post oculos prominentes haud tumido ; thorace trans- 

 verso, quadrato, antice parum rotundato, postice modice 

 angustato, angulis posticis obtusis, limbo interdum 

 castaneo-rufo ; elytris striatis, interstitiis convexis. Long. 

 4 mm. 



All the islands ; under bark of various trees, beech, 

 oak, and fir. 



The red sutural border is limited to the 1st interstice, 

 and does not reach the scutellum ; the shoulder-spot 

 extends from the 3rd stria to the margin, and is not 

 longer than broad. 



Apparently allied to the Bornean P. nigricollis, Motsch.
