moderately large ; the elytra rather long, parallel at the side.', 

 deeply striate ; the presternum narrow between the coxas, 

 posterior process keeled and pointed ; the intermediate tibiae 

 are slightly bent and a little swollen at the tarsal end. 



Type Scotceus jjurpurivittatusj Mars. 



There are four species of this genus in the Bates collection 

 standing under the MS. name I have preserved ; all are a 

 bright green with purple markings. One from Siam resembles 

 T'. purpurivittatus very closely. 



Ilah. Nagasaki and Hiogo. Not uncommon in July after 

 the rains. 



Gnesis helopioides, Pasc. 1865. 

 Tromosternus Ilaar/i, liar. Abh. Brem. p. 131 (1876). 



Pascoe received this species from Dr. Adams, who collected 

 insects on landing at different places from a man-of-war 

 •which was for some time off the Japanese coast. I think 

 this species, like Idisia ornatus, Pasc, can only be regarded 

 as Japanese at present. I have a second species of the 

 genus from the Andaman Islands, which is, however, a very 

 different insect to G. helopioides. 



Ilah. Nagasaki, Kobe, Kashiwagi, and Sado. 



MiSOLAMPIDIUS, Solsky.

Type M. tentyrioides^ Sol. t. i. fig. 7. 



lieliophygus'^ vwhjtopsis, Mars., and Hehps clavicrus, 

 Mars., should be placed in Solsky 's genus. The genus 

 Ftilonix was founded by Allard in 1877 to receive a species 

 similar to the above j but Solsky 's name has precedence. 



Misolampidius {Heh'op/iygus?) molytopsis, Mars. 



The male of this species is extremely like the female of 

 JUelcps clavicrus, Mars., but the punctuation of the thorax is 

 fine and scattered and the male has the anterior tibice bent or 

 sinuous on the inner edge. Marseul gave Niigata as the. 

 locality for it, but this was a misprint. 



Bab. Nagasaki and Ichibosayama. 1 have only two male 

 examples.
