398 Mr. G. Lewis on 



stands under three different names, in three different genera, 

 but it is not neeessary to specify them. 



JJah. Nagasaki and Bukenji, near Yokohama. 1 liave 

 seen this species in great abundance on many occasions. 



Alphttopkaffus pallidicolh'sj sp. n. 

 Ilufo-tcstaceus, capitc thoracequc dense punctulatis ; elytris nigro- 



fasciatis. 

 L. ;U mill. 



lleddish, pale brown, or yellow, antennae and legs the same 

 colour ; the head and thorax evenly and densely punctulate ; 

 the elytra punctate-striate, interstices microscopically ])unctu- 

 late, with a black fascia at the base on interstices 2-6, and a 

 second dorsal fascia entirely crosses the wing-case, the last is 

 usually broadest at the suture ; and in some examples the two 

 fasciae join on the sutural interstice. 



Easily separated from A. japanus, IMars,, by the colour, 

 size, and the dense punctuation of the thorax. 



flah. Yokohama. Nine examples from a boletus at 

 JUikenji in company with a large number of A. japanus^ 

 Mars. 



Pentaphylhis ohlonguSj sp. n. 



Oblougus, subparallelus, flavo-testaceus ; elytris punctulatis, striis 



ohsolotis ; anteunis pedibusque concoloribus. 

 L. 21 mill. 



Oblong, somewhat parallel at the sides, yellow-testaceous ; 

 the head distinctly and not closely punctured, with the sur- 

 face microscopically strigose ; the thorax arched at the sides, 

 with the margin evenly elevated, anterior angles well rounded 

 off, surface sculptured like the head ; the scutellum small and 

 triangular; the elytra jninctulate, striai obsolete, surface with 

 very feeble leather-like sculpture, lateral margiii raised like 

 that of the thorax ; the antcnnix?, articulations 1-2 rather 

 robust and equal, 3-6 shorter and smaller, 7 slightly trans- 

 verse, 8 distinctly transverse, 9-10 rather widely transverse, 

 terminal joint nearly circular in outline, the last five joints 

 forming a lax club. 



This species is larger and more jiarallel than P. testaceus^ 

 Helw., and the antennj^ are ditVerently formed, with the 

 articulations much more lax. But the seventh and eighth 

 joints are transverse, although not very distinctly so, and 1 

 liavc no doubt the species are congeneric. 



Hah. Yokohama, at Bukenji. One example.
