Ainu temiicornis, sp. n. 



Elongatus, subcylindricus, subtus brunneus, supra submetallicus : 

 elytris viride tinctis ; anteunis, partibus oris, pedibusque brun- 

 ueis. 



L. 12-13 mill. 



Elongate, subcylindrlcal, ratlier convex, refldi.sh brown 

 beneath, somewhat metallic above; the head pitchy, irre;^u- 

 larly, not closely punctate, sometimes with an impression be- 

 tween the eyes, epistoma, antennal orbits, and mouth-organs 

 reddish brown ; the thorax rather broader than long, lateral 

 margin well-marked, anterior and posterior edgps narrowly 

 reddish, surface punctured and coloured somewhat like the 

 head, but with a purple or greenish tint ; the scutellum tri-

There is a species of this genus in the Pascoe collection 

 from Penang. In facies the species resembles somewhat 

 Camaria spectahih's, Pasc. ; an insect, however, which mea- 

 sures 30 millim., and has the tarsi, antennae, and first abdo- 

 minal segment differently formed. Pascoe placed Camaria 

 spectahills in the Ilelopinje, and Camaria variabilis iSino- 

 jnum) in the Strongyliinaj. 



Hah. Nishimura and Kurigahara. Six examples. 



Strongylium japan u m , Mars. 



In the male the fourth segment of the abdomen is widelv, 

 almost wholly, excavated.
