430 Mr. Ct. Lewis on 



pitchy brown, apical joint reddish ; the legs similar in colour, 

 tarsi palish ; the meso- and metasterna and abdominal segments 

 obscurely brown. 



Hah. Hakodate. I took a single example on the sandhills 

 near Nanai. 



Anthicus cohceres, sp. n. 



EloDgatus, parum convexis, nitidus ; capite thoraceque nigris ; 



elytris 4-macuIatis : antennis articulis ultimis tribus testaceis. 

 L. 4 miU. 



Elongate, rather convex, shining ; the head black, trans- 

 verse, clearly, not closely punctured ; the thorax also black, 

 relatively narrow, less wide than that of A. scoticus, much 

 more densely punctured than the head ; the elytra black, with 

 four lobe-shaped reddish testaceous spots, the first well 

 behind the humeral angle, evanescent on the outer edge, 

 leaving on the sutural side a fairly wide margin ; the second 

 spot, midway between the posterior coxte and the apex, leaves 

 a distinct margin on the outer edge and a narrower one at the 

 suture ; the under surface obscurely brown ; the antennae, 

 joints 9 to 11 palish, male with joints 7 to 9 nearly as long 

 as the tenth and eleventh together ; the legs dull brown or 

 sometimes infuscate, male posterior tibial distinctly swollen 

 on the upper edge of the apical half. 



Somewhat similar to A. Marseuli, Pic, but the head and 

 thorax are black ; the elytra more parallel, with the red 

 markings wider. 



Hab. Yokohama, Kob^ on Maiyasan and on the Usui-toge. 

 Five examples only. 



Anthicus extus, sp. n. 



Elongatus, parum convexus ; antennis, capite thoraceque nigris ; 



elytris 4-maculatis, macuhs rufis ; pedibus brunneis, partim infus- 



catis. 

 L. 4i mill. 



This species is not very dissimilar to A. cohceres, but it is 

 much more robust in body, the head, thorax, and elytra being 

 wider, and the thorax and wing-cases shorter ; the elytra also 

 are similar in colour, but the red marking below the humeral 

 angle reaches the outer edge and widens out along it, the 

 punctuation also is coarser ; the antennaj wholly black ; body 

 beneath reddish brown ; the legs, anterior pair dusky, inter- 

 mediate and posterior thighs palish at the base, all the tarsi 

 reddish brown. 



Hab. Sapporo. One example only.
