spaces regularly foveolate, with a transverse bar between each 

 fovea ; the antennae reddish brown, third joint long, fourth 

 also long, but a little shorter than the third, joints 5-10 each 

 a little shorter than the one before it; the legs, tibiae some- 

 times, tarsi generally reddish. 



Doubtless very similar to S. costipenne, Miikl., from 

 Borneo, to which species Marseul doubtfully assigned it, but 

 after reading the description of Malclin's species I cannot 

 think it is the same. Tiie colour and sculpture of the scu- 

 tellum alone seem to warrant this assumption. 



Hah. Nagasaki. Found on old trees after midsummer. 



Strongylium helopioides, sp. n. 



Piceo-brunneum, nitidum ; oapito thoraceque densissime punctatis : 

 elytris perconvexis, striato-punctatis, interstitiis plauis laevibus, 

 disco siiboeneo. 



L. 6i mill. 



Pitchy brown, anterior edge of the thorax, bases and 

 apices of the elytra, tarsi and bases of the thighs paler ; the 

 head densely, coarsely, and somewhat rugosely punctured ; 

 eyes rather small ; the thorax punctured like the head, with 

 an obscure linear area on the disk smooth, without a lateral 

 margin ; the scutellum smooth, triangular, and very minute ; 

 the elytra striate-punctate, interstices between the punctures 

 smooth, disk somewhat brassy, apices slightly dehiscent ; the 

 antennae somewhat slender at the base, joints 7-11 stouter; 

 the tarsi, except the claw-bearing joint, reddish. 



The antennai of this small species and the facies generally 

 somewhat resemble a species of Misolampidius. This and 

 S. japanum are the only species in this scries with dehiscent 

 elytra. 



Ilah. Fukahori near Nagasaki. One male example, 25th 

 February, 1881. 



Strongylium breviconie^ sp. n. (PI. XIII. fig. 12.) 



-^neo-brunneum, nitidura ; capito thoraceque grosse ct parura 

 dense punctatis ; elytris profunde punctato-striatis ; autenuis

L. d 8, $ 10 mill. 



Somewhat elongate, brassy brown, sometimes with a 

 greenish tint ; the head coarsely and densely punctured, 

 sometimes with a small smooth space between the eyes, eyes 

 relatively smaller than those of S. iinpigrum ; the thorax 

 rounded off anteriorly, with two impressions, one on each 

 side before the base, lateral rim well-marked, punctate, punc-
