Arrhenopltta {Hoplocephala) asiati'ca, sp. n. 



Oblonga, nitida, rufo-brunnea ; capite thoraceque rufis ; elytris 



nigris apice excepto. 

 L. G| mill. 



Oblong, reddish brown ; tlie head red, rather rugosely punc- 

 tured, male with two erect horns close to the eyes, in the female 

 the head is swollen only close to the eyes ; the tliorax red, 

 evenly not closely punctulate ; the scutellum obscurely red ; 

 the elytra black, with the apices red, punctate-striate, inter- 

 stices sparingly punctulate ; the antennse and legs red. 



Similar to A. hcemorrhoidalis, F., but the thorax is much 

 wider and less convex laterally and the thoracic punctuation 

 larger. A. hcemorrhoidalis occurs in Siberia as well as in 

 Europe. 



Hab. Sapporo. A boletus I found on an oak contained 

 three males and one female. 



Amarantha atrocyanea, Lew. 



Amarantha atron/ayiea, Lew. Ent. M, M. 1891, ser. 2, ii. p. 70 

 {Metaclisa, Duval). 



The location of the genus Amarantha is doubtful. Faust 

 placed it near Arrhenoplita {Hoplocephala) , but the form of 

 the sterna and the structure of the first segment of the abdomen 

 more nearly resemble a species of Ilemicera. The short tarsi, 

 however, are similar to Arrhenoplita. Amaranihus is the 

 name of a well-known flower of older date than Mot- 

 schulsky's name. If the latter is rejected, Duval's name 

 will serve. 



Ilah. Oyayama, Chiuzenji, Sapporo, and Junsai. Taken 

 abundantly in South Yezo. It inhabits the touch-wood of 

 decaying beeches. 



Ischnodactylus loripes, sp. n. (PI. XIII. fig. 6, J.) 



Subdepressus, ovatiis, piccus, nitidus ; thorace marginibus. antennis, 

 pedibns et cpipleuris rufo-brunneis ; elytris t'ortiter punctato- 

 striatis. 



L. $ 7, d 8| mm. 



Oblong oval, pitchy black, somewhat depressed ; margin of 

 the thorax, epipleura^, antenna?, and legs reddish brown, and 

 sometimes also the sutural interstice of the elytra is reddish ; 

 the head somewhat wide, rather densely, not coarsely punc- 

 tured, not cornute in the male; the thorax transverse, slightly 

 explanate laterally, punctured similarly to the head ; the scu-
