Genus OCHROCHIRA. 

 Ochrocliira lunata, sp. n. 



Fuliginous-brown ; apical joint of the antennte fulvous ; 

 abdomen above red, connexivum and apex fuliginous. 



AntennjB with the first joint a little longer than the fourth,

 beneath near apex, the intermediate femora also with a series 

 of short spines beneath ; posterior femora incrassated and 

 with two or three distinct tuberculous spines near apex 

 beneath, and with a few spines on apical half of inner margin ; 

 posterior tibias moderately dilated, spinously produced at 

 about two thirds from base^ and thence narrowed and in-

$ , As in male, but posterior femora much less incrassated 

 and only spined at apex ; posterior tibise simple, longitudi-

 from Japan, from which it is separated by the much more 

 produced and lunate pronotal angles.
