Hub. J;ij)uii. I t'oiiiitl lliis species ill Cusnus-hwn-ow^ at 

 Kiga, Kouose, Naru, ami in S. Yezo. 



Acrilas shoganuSy sp. n. 



Ovalis, convoxus, nigro-piceus, nitidus ; anteniiis podibusque l)ruii- 

 neis ; pronoto linea basali aciculato-puiictato in medio toiuiiter 

 arouala ; elytris sparse punctatis, doroo aciculato-rugosulis ; pro- 

 sterno bistriato, utrinquc truncato. 



L. 1 mill. 



Oval, convex, nearly black, sliiniag,antenna3 and legs pale 

 brown ; the head feebly punctured ; the thorax evenly and 

 clearly, not closely, punctured, antiscutellar stria very feebly 

 arched in the niidtlle, and following- the margin to the sides ; 

 stria punctate, punctures aciculate, posteriorly within the stria 

 tiic surface is strigose ; the elytral j)unctuation somewhat finer 

 than tliat of the thorax, with a longitudinal strigosity between 

 the points; the pygidium impunetate, minutely and trans- 

 versely strigose; the prostcrnum, outline similar to that figured 

 for A. acup/ctusj Mars. (Mon. 1858, fig. 17), with a few scat- 

 tered punctures, and surface microscopically strigose; the meso- 

 sternum, marginal stria interrupted anteriorly, suture feebly 

 visible and with the metasternum and lirst abdominal seg- 

 ment clearly but sparsely punctate. 



Ilab. Japan. I obtained a single example at Sapporo. 



Acritus fasmanice, sp. n. 



Ovnlis, convexub, bruniieus, nitidus ; supra puuctulatus ; prosteruo 



bistriato, striis antico et postiee divaricatis. 

 L. 1 mill. 



Oval, convex, brown, shining; the head very finely and 

 sparsely punctulate; the thorax, stria complete, punctures 

 rather sparse, small anteriorly, gradually becoming larger 

 toward the base, at the edge before the scutellum is a row of 

 punctures, but there is no definite antiscutellar line like that 

 figured for A. acaroides and others by Marseul (]\Ion. 1850) ; 

 the elytra are sculptured similarly to the thorax, except at 

 the apical margins, which are, like the pygidium, almost 

 smooth ; the prostcrnum rather long, bistriate, stria3 rather 

 widely divergent before and behind, feebly and very sparsely 

 punctured ; the mesosternum, suture almost invisible, mar- 

 ginal stria fine and a little interrupted anteriorly, like tiie 

 metasternum it is sparsely punctulate. 



llah. Tasmania [J. J. Walktr, 18l'l).
