Addia scatebros, sp. n. 



Ovalis, supra convexa, nitida, obscure purpureo-seneo-nigra ; elytris 

 striato-punctatis, interstitiis impuuctatls ; antennis pedibusque 

 obscure brunneis. 



L. 7 mill. 



Oval, convex above, black, shining, with a brassy-purple 

 tint, the head punctulate, punctures not very dense but irre- 

 gular, epistoma depressed; the thorax more clearly but some- 

 what similarly punctured, margin elevated laterally ; the 

 scutellum rather small, arched at the sides, obtusely pointed 

 behind, smooth ; the elytra striate-punctate, rows of points 

 rather wide apart, interstices smooth, lateral margins elevated 

 like the sides of the thorax until just before the apex ; the 

 antennae obscurely brown, legs darker ; the prosternura bisul- 

 cate between the coxge. The antennas are shorter in every 

 joint than in Elixota curva, but otherwise not very dis- 

 similar. 



IJah. Miyanoshita. One female example in May. Pro- 

 bably at a later season more would been found, as this species 

 seems to be a tropical or subtropical form. 



Elixota curva. Mars. 

 Aonarygmus curvwi, Mars. Ann. Fr. 1876, p. 316. 



This genus was founded by Pascoe in 1866, and placed in 

 the Cnodaloninai, but Pascoe says nothing of the singular 

 position of the head. The head is bent downwards, '* enfoncee 

 dans le prothorax " as Marseul says, and only a very small 

 part of it is visible when the insect is viewed from above. I 

 have taken two species of this genus in Ceylon, and another 

 at Singapore. 



The present species is smaller and brighter in colour than 

 E. cuprea, Pasc, from North China. 



Ilab. Nagasaki, Oj'ayama, and Yokohama. At the last 

 place, near the race-course, 1 found an old camellia in which 

 a large number of specimens were hibernating on the 26th 

 March, 1880. 



Phthora canalicolUs, sp. n. 



Oblonga, piceo-nigra, nitida ; thorace punctate, lateralibus canalicu- 

 latis ; clvtris punctato-striatis, puuetis profunde impressi.>; : an-
