324 Mr. D. Sharp's revision of the 



I have by error stated that the hind tibiae are mucronate, 

 whereas it is the middle legs that are so armed. 



Bryaxis diffinis, n. s. 



Rululus, sat nitidus, brevissime pubescens, vix punc- 

 tulatus ; prothorace trifoveolato, foveola mediali laterali- 

 bus minore. Long. 2£ mm. 



Mas, antennis articulo decimo magno, subgloboso, 

 femoribus anterioribus subtus ultra basin denticulo 

 miuutissimo, tibiis intermediis apice intus unco brevi 

 armatis ; abdomine segmento ultimo ventrali late im- 

 presso. Fern., antennis articulo decimo simplice, haud 

 transverse 



This species is extremely closely allied to B. mundus, 

 but the individuals are apparently slightly larger, and 

 the head is rather more elongate, and the two fine plicae 

 on the 1st dorsal segment of the hind body are a little 

 more distinct. The male has the 10th joint of the 

 antennae peculiarly formed, it being nearly globose, 

 except that there is a very slight truncation of the 

 anterior-inner edge, and its legs are stouter than in 

 B. mundus. In the female the antennas are longer than 

 they are in the corresponding sex of B. mundus, the 

 3rd and 4th joints especially being longer, and the 10th 

 about as long as broad. 



Two pairs of this species were found at Yokohama.

Neither this nor the two following species have been 

 found again. Mr. Lewis has, however, captured at 

 Yokohama three female individuals of apparently a 

 distinct species, allied to B. pullus, and it appears 

 probable that these red Bryaxis are numerous in species 

 in Japan, and excessively difficult to distinguish apart 

 from the male characters.
