Geodephagous Coleoptera of Japan. 275 



Bembidiim (Peryphus) semiluitum. 



B. colluto, Bates, affinissimum, forsan ejus varietas 

 geographica; minor, antennis articulis 5 — 11 et 4ti 

 basi, nigro-fuscis ; elytris apice late et vage testaceo- 

 rufis. Elongato-ovatum, viridi-geneum, palpis, anten- 

 narum articulis 1 — 3 et 4ti basi, pedibusque testaceo- 

 rufis ; thorace late quadrato, postice parum angustato, 

 basi utrinque bistriato plicaque juxta angulum ; elytris 

 striato-punctatis, striis 2 — 7 ante apicem obsoletis, 

 versus apicem rufescentibus, interdum toto rufo-trans- 

 lucentibus. Long. 4|- mm.

Bembidium {Peryphus) chlorcum, Bates. 



Bates, Trans. Ent. Soc. Lond., 1873, p. 332. 



Kumamoto and Ogura Lake. Previously recorded 

 only from Kiu-Kiang, China. 



Bembidium misellum, Harold. 



Harold, Deutsche Ent. Zeitschr., 1877, p. 342. 



Tokio (Hilgendorf). 



A specimen from Wada toge, taken by Mr. Lewis, 

 agrees fairly well with von Harold's description, except 

 that the striae, although strongly punctured, seem 

 scarcely enough deeply impressed. Von Harold com- 

 pares his insect to B. velox (lampros), to which the Wada 

 toge specimen is very closely allied. 



Bembidium leucolenum. 



Oblongo-ovatum, cupreo-fuscum lateribus viridi-seneis, 

 antennis palpis pedibusque nigro-fuscis, tibiis testaceis ; 

 sulcis frontalibus flexuosis subparallelis, inter sulcum et 

 oculum puncto magno setifero ; thorace late quadrato- 

 cordato, prope basin sinuato-angustato, angulis posticis 

 subacutis, fovea basali profunda plicaque acuta juxta 

 angulum ; elytris parum convexis, punctato-striatis, 

 striis 3 — 7 prope apicem obsoletis, 8 — 9 sat separatis 

 seel in sulcum latum correntibus ante apicem conjunctis ; 

 femoribus sat incrassatis. Long. 5^ mm. 



Nikko ; in the streets, running in the sun.
