witli tawny pubescence ; the head rather densely punctured 

 and relatively wide between the eyes ; the thorax wider than 

 long, widest posteriorly, hind angles obtuse, punctured some- 

 what siniiharly to the head, but a little more densely before 

 the scutollum, median impression faint ; the scutellum reddish, 

 punctulate ; the elytra not parallel laterally, but widest 

 behind the posterior coxfe, punctate-striate, interstices ob- 

 scurely punctulate, narrowly red on the sutural and outer 

 edges, dorsal region darkest ; the antennte, mouth-organs, and 

 legs wholly reddish brown. 



Larger, with a wider head and thicker antennas, but other- 

 wise very similar to A. tenuis^ Mars., 1876 (nee tenuis^ 

 Fairm., 1894). 



Hah. Kashiwagi and Nikko ; one example at each place. 



Allecula ceneipennis, Harold. 

 Allecula (cneipennis, Har. Deutsche ent. Zeitschr. p. 80 (1878). 



Distinguished from all in this series by the green or blue 

 colouring of the elytra. 



Hah. Fukushima, Kasliiwagi, Nikko, and Chiuzenji. An 

 abundant species where it occurs. Tokio, the locality given 

 by Harold, is probably an error, as I found it only at inter- 

 mediate and high elevations. 



Hymenorus veterator^ sp. n. 



Elongatus, brunneo-niger, pubescens, parum nitidus ; capite thorace- 

 que distincte punctatis ; elytris punctato-striatis, apicalibus vage 

 rufis ; antennis pedibusque rufis. 



L. 6| miU. 



Elongate, brown-black, with tawny pubescence, somewhat 

 shining ; the head rather closely punctured ; the thorax 

 transverse, widest before the base, arched anteriorly, punc- 

 tured like the head, bisinuous at the base, distinctly impressed 

 before the scutellum ; the elytra rather long, not quite parallel 

 at the sides, punctate-striate, interstices obscurely punctulate 

 and transversely rugose, apices vaguely reddish ; the antenuEe 

 and legs clear red. 



Hah. Nikko and Maiyasan near Kob^. Three examples 

 only, taken in August. 



Ctstela Haagi. 



Pseudoeistela Haagi, Har. Deutsche ent. Zeitschr, p. 80 (1878). 



Harold only knew the female; the male has strongly pecti- 

 nate antennge, and the thorax is, in all my specimens, red at 

 and within the posterior angles only. I have one female with 

 the thorax entirely black.
