 Camvylus {Lepfuroidcs) mini(itii.-<. ('and. X.itos Leyd. Mus. 1885, vii. 



This species does not vary luucli in colour ; tlierc are gene- 

 rally two red spots on the head, but sometimes these are 

 absent. The scutclluni is distinctly carinatc. 



L. 9-loi mill. 



Ilab. Nikko, Miyanoshita, Subashiri, Ichiuchi, and Oya- 

 yama. Rather common in forests in May. 



Lepturoides ( Campylus) scutellariSy sp. n. 



LepUo'ouR miniato simillimiis sed minor ; elytris obscure rufis ; 



scutello valde carinato. 

 L. 10 mill. 



This species is intermediate between L. miniatus and 

 oculafusj but most like the first. The head punctate, punc- 

 tures deep, rather close, but irregular, coloured like the head 

 of L. oculatus, without the two spots seen in L. miniatus ; 

 the thorax blackish, with four nodules and margin reddish 

 brown ; the scutellum very strongly carinate, carina arched 

 in outline, and well raised above the level of the elytra ; the 

 elytra dull red, punctate-striate, punctures very deep, inter- 

 stices convex and rugose ; the antennae and legs black. 



The scutellum in this species is as curiously formed as that 

 in Athous suhcyaneus^ Motsch., of this series. 



llah. Oyayama. Two female examples. 



Lepturoides [Campylus) oculatus, sp. n. 



Infuscatus, subnitidus, pilosus ; ocxilis prominulis ; elytris coccineis 

 profunde punctato-striatis, interstitiis rugosis ; antennis pedi- 

 busque nigris. 



L. 8-9 miU. 



Infuscate, rather shining, with fulvous hairs on the head 

 and thorax, bright red hairs on the elytra ; the head, frontal 

 carina between the antennae and a small space behind testa-

 excavated behind the frontal carina, eyes small in the female, 

 very prominent in the male ; the thorax canaliculate in the 

 middle, with two nodules on each side of the channel, nodules 

 most conspicuous in the female, lateral margins testaceous, 

 sometimes there are pale markings near the nodules; the scutel- 

 lum punctate, carinate ; the elytra briglit red, punctate-striate, 

 punctures very deep and similar to those of L. miniatus,
