198 Mr. II. W. Bates on the 



Semanotus rujipennis^ Motscli. 

 CaUidium riifiperme, Motsch. Etudes Entom. 1860, p. 19, 

 Many examples. Varies in size from 3:|- to 6 lines. The 

 prosternal process is much narrower, and the mesosternnm 

 more attenuated behind, in tlie male than in the female ; but 

 their breadth in the former sex is much greater than in the 

 genus CaUidium. The femora are less clavate, especially in 

 the female, and the thorax less dilated in the middle than in 

 Rhopalojms. Breeds in fir rails, and appears in first warm 

 days in March. 



Phymatodes alhicinctus^ n. sp. 

 P. vario (Fab.) affinis, at differt colore nigro, elytris fascia angusta 

 alba. Niger, pubescens, elytris medio fascia angusta alba ; 

 capite retractili, fronte et vertice planis, punctulatis ; thorace 

 creberrime sed discrete punctulato ; elytris planatis crebre punctu- 

 latis. Long. 3^ lin. § . 



One example ; Omura. 



Closely resembling in size and form the North-American P. 

 varius. The pubescence is much shorter and more adpressed ; 

 the thorax is narrower, rather more narrowed behind than in 

 front, very evenly jiunctulated over its entire surface. The 

 elytra have in the middle a nearly straight, narrow, pure 

 white belt. 



Clytanthus notahilis^ Pascoe. 



Clytui notahilis, Pascoe, Journ. Entom. i. p. 360. 



Ck/tanthus alphabeticus, Chevr. Clytides d'Asie et d'Oc^anie (1863), 

 p. 56 (Atithobosciis). 



Many examples. Taken by Mr. Fortune also at Yokohama. 



Clytanthus oppositus^ Chevr. 



Clytanthus apposittis, Chevr. Clytides d'Asie et d'Oceanie, p. 52. 

 C.japonicus, id. p. 40 ? 



Many examples. Abundant in June. 



The markings agree best with Chevrolat's description of C. 

 oppositus • but they vary a little in the direction of C.japonicuSy 

 and I suspect the two to belong to one and the same species. 



Clytanthus quinquefasciatusj Lap. & Gory. 

 ClytantJms quinquefasciattis, Lap. & Gory, Mod. p. 101, t. 19. f. 120. 

 Many examples.

 C. elongatus, graciUimus, pubc viridi-grisea vcstitus ; elytris utrinque 

 maculis duabus transversis nigris, una mox poue medium, altera
