1. Onorimus viridiopacus, Lewis. 

 Gnorimus viridiopacus, Lewis, Wien. ent. Zeitung, 1887. 

 Found at Chiuzenji rather late in the summer. 

 Three examples. 



2. Gnorimus suhopacus, Motsch. 

 Mr. Bowring obtained this species many years ago on the 

 island of Tsushima, and I hav^e five examples from the same 

 localitj, taken in 188L I also took one at Sapporo. 



L Paratrichius Donitzi, Harold. 



Paratrichivs lonf/icornis, Janson, Cist. Eiit. ii. p. 611, pi. xi. fig. 1 (1881), 

 = Gnorimus Donitzi, Harold. 



The latter name has the priority, but tlie generic name 

 proposed by Janson it is well to retain. I bred the species 

 i'rom pupa3 in June, and found the images in flowers in August 

 on the high ranges bordering the mountain-forests on Oya- 

 yama, Niohosan, Ontake, and Wada-toge. Janson records 

 it from Yezo. 



The females are always black, but the males vary in 

 colour and look very much like Tri<jonopeltastes. There is 

 one male with the elytra almost wholly black. 



1. Trichius Japonicus, Janson. 



1 obtained this species from Deutzm-i\owevs at Nikko in June 

 1880, and this appears to be its most southern locality. On 

 August 7, sam.e year, it was abundant at Sapporo, in the 

 umbels of the gigantic Angelica, w^here, being some feet out of 

 reach and very active on the wing, it was difficult to capture 

 in an inverted umbrella. Trichius fasciatus, L., has been 

 reported erroneously from Japan instead^ possibly, of this 

 insect. 



2. Trichius nuccinctus, Pallas. 



Trickius sucmxctus, Pallas, Ic. lus. p. 18, t. A. fig. 19; Burm, Handb. 

 iii. p. 758. 



This species is recorded here from Japan for the first time. 

 It occurred on Oyayama and at Nikko and Sapporo, but only 

 eight examples vv'ere taken, so it must be considered rare in 

 Japan. 



3. Trichius septemdecimguttatus, Voll. 



Trichius septemdecimf/uttatus, Voll. Tijdschr. Eut. Nederl. vii. 1864, 



p. 159; C. Waterh." Traus. Ent. See. 1875, part i. p. 71, pi. iii. fig. 8. 



This sjiecies is only at present known from the island of 



Kiuskiu. It was found not uncommonly in Viburnuni-^o'we.xs, 



at Konosd, May 19, 1881, and about twenty specimens were 



dug out of an old log [Planera) the same day, five of which
