Bodolia narce^ sp. n. 



Ovalis, subtiis infuscatus, nitidus, dense griseo-pubesceng ; capite 

 nigro ; thorace obscure bimaculato ; elytris marginibus rufis, 

 disco obscure bruiineis, undique distincte puuctulatis. 



L. 4f mill. 



Oval, body dusky, above shining, and clothed with short 

 and close greyish pubescence ; the head dusky or black, 

 obsoletely punctulate ; the thorax reddish brown, with two 

 somewhat obscure dusky blotches near the base, but in a line 

 with each eye, margins clearly red, surface without visible 

 punctuation ; the scutellum minutely punctulate, somewhat 

 dusky ; tlie elytra very distinctly and somewhat densely 

 punctulate, broadly margined with red, the internal area of 

 each elytron obscurely brown ; the epipleural rim is very 

 line, finer than that of R. limhata and the others of this 

 series. 



The dorsal punctuation is a distinguishing character in 

 this species.

Bodolia concolor, Lewis. 



Novius concolor, Lew. Ann, & Mag. Nat, Hist. (5) iv. p, 466 (1879), 



I have an example in which the thorax is marked with 

 black and the scutellum wholly black.

Bodolia rufocincta^ sp. n. 



Ovalis, niger, griseo-pubescens ; elytris margine extus abdominis- 



que segmenta rufis. 

 L. ^-^ mill. 



Oval, black, with short and close greyish pubescence ; the 

 head and thorax feebly punctulate, lateral margins of the last 

 obscurely reddish near the base, but distinctly red at the ante- 

 rior angle ; the elytra more distinctly punctulate than the 

 thorax, with the lateral margins narrowly red ; the red margin 

 is broadest from the humeral angle to about one third of the 

 elytral length, from whence it gradually narrows to the apex; 

 the abdomen, segments above and below red j the legs 

 blackish. 



This species is distinctly more oval than either R. limhatus 

 or B. concolor. 



Hah. Kiga, Nikko, and Chiuzenji. Three examples only.
