and legs reddish brown, the first witli compressed articula- 

 tions, somewhat like those figured for Scaphoderus Riehlii, 

 Cand., but the second and third joints correspond closely to 

 the third and those following ; all are broader than long, not 

 serrate. 



The above is extremely like a pale variety of A. Mdklinii, 

 Cand., but the thorax is not sinuous before the hind angles 

 and the peculiar antennaj are very curious and unlike any 

 other species in this series. 



Hah. Sapporo. One example. 



Adelocera jjarallela, sp. n. 



Elongata, parallela, obscure brunnea, grisoo-vestita : clytris striis 

 obsoletis, intcrstitiis seriatim punctatis ; anteunis pedibusque 

 concoloribus. 



L. 12 mill. 



Elongate, parallel, dull brown, clothed with stiffish grey 

 hairs ; the head concave between the antennre, punctate, 

 punctures deep, circular, and somewhat closely set ; the thorax 

 punctured like the head, slightly narrower than the elytra, 

 sinuous before the hind angles ; the elytra, strias obsolete, 

 interstices with punctures distinctly smaller than those of the 

 thorax, set in rows, the rows close to the suture not well- 

 defined, the next eleven or twelve rows well-marked, those 

 nearer the outer edge somewhat obscure and irregular ; the 

 antenuEe and legs dull brown. 



This insect is much smaller than A. Mdklim'i, Cand., and 

 the elytral sculpture is wholly diflferent. 



Hab. Sapporo. 



Lacon micrmus, Linn. 



Candfeze reported this species from Japan (Elat. nouv. i. 

 p. 10), but later (Mem. Lic'ge, 1873, p. 2) he considered the 

 examples belonged to L. hinodalus^ Motsch. 



Lacon qitadrinodatus^ sp. n. 



Elongatus, subparallolu!'. pilis aureo-rufis dense vcstit us ; froutc con- 

 cava, capite punctate inter oculosoaii;iliculato : thoruce 4-iiodato ; 

 clytris dense punctatis, baud striatis. 



L. 15 mill. 



Elongate, rather ]iarallel, densely clothed with golden 

 reddish, short and stift' hairs ; the head, torohend with a 

 circular concavity between the antenme, which joins poste-
