Aihous virenSy Cand. 

 Athous virens, Cand. M6m. Liege, 1873, p. 24. 



In about eighty examples eleven have the elytra wholly 

 brown (var. hrunneipennis) . 



Hah. Wada-toge (in great profusion), Chiuzenji, Maiyasan, 

 and Shiraonosuwa. 



AtJious sanguinicollis, Frivaldszky. 

 Athous sanguinicollis, Frivaldszky, Term, fiizetek. xv., 1892, p. 12-L 



The above is very similar to AtJious desertor^ but it is 

 larger and the thorax is wholly red. It is also very near to 

 A. virens^ Cand. 



Hah. East Japan {Frivaldszky)^ Oyama [Pryer). 



Athous desertor. 

 Psephus desertor, Cand. Mem. Liege, 1873, p. 7. 

 Hah. Kobe. Found near the temple of Maiyasan. 



Athous comes, sp. n. 



cJ . Rufo-brunncus, subopacus, griseo-pubescens ; elytris marginibu3 



rufo-ferrugineis ; antennis gracilibus, rufo-brunneis. 

 L. 12 mill. 



Reddish brown, rather opaque, with grey pubescence ; the 

 head rather coarsely punctured, anterior margin rather broadly 

 raised, with a triangular depression behind it ; the thorax 

 straight at the sides, scarcely narrowed anteriorly, rather 

 closely punctured, hind angle very feebly turned outwards, 

 tips rounded off; the elytra punctate-striate, interstices 

 markedly rugose, obscurely punctured, sutural and two out- 

 side interstices and apices broadly ferruginous, interstices 

 2 to 7 dark brown tor two thirds their lena'th ; the antennte 

 long and slender, not serrate ; the legs pale reddish brown. 



I'his insect is similar to A. suturalis, Cand. (c^), but it is 

 more opaque, the thorax less narrowed anteriorly, and the 

 antennae are longer and more slender. 



Hah. Sapporo. Three specimens, all males. 



Athous suturalisj Cand. 



Athous siduralis, Cand. Mem. Liege, 1873, p. 23. 



This species belongs to the same group as A. di/fonnis, 

 Lac. Candbze placed it near A. ferrugi'ncus, Eschs., but 

 Cand^ze had only the lemale and mistook it tor the male. 

 The female has the thorax conspicuously sinuous along the 

 anterior edge, the sinuosities behind the eyes being deeper
