The following, usually referred to Anthidium^ belong to 

 Dianthidium : — 



Dianthidium interruptum (Fabr.) ; {Apia interrupta, Fnbr. ; Anthidium 

 ftavihdirf, Ijitr.). Jk'lonjjs to subjrun. Paraantfiidiutn, Frieze. 



Dianthidium tf/ytentdftdatum (Liitr.); (Anthidium ncptemdentatwn,

Dianthidium ferruijineum (Fabr.); (Apis/eiruginea, Fabr.). Belongs to 

 8ubj;»'n. I^oanthidium, Friose. 



Dianfhidiutn iiculum (Sjiin.) ; (Anthidium /ontanesii, Lep.). Belongs to 

 suhpen. Anthidium, s. str., Frieso. 



Dianthidium ruhiijinosum (Lep.), according to specimen in British Mu- 

 seum ; but if this is corrt-ct, Anthidium coronatum, Sm., from Corfu, 

 ha.*< been erroneously referred here, a.s it i.s a genuine Anthidium. 



Dianthidium cordutum (Sm.). Natal. Pulvillus small. 



Dianthidium rufipes (Sm.). India. (UiUla Torre erroneously says Natal. ) 



Tlie following are genuine Anthidium: — lituratum, Pz. ; 

 puncfatum, Latr. ; variegatum, Fabr.; imitator, Sm. (India) ; 

 vrdinuturn, Sm. (India). 



A. snhochraceum , Walker (gardens round Mt. Sinai), lias 

 tlio venation of DiavtJiidium, but apparently no pulvilli. 

 Nearly the same may be said of ^l. pulchellum^ Klug, but 

 this seems to have a very small pulvillus. 



It is a question whether one of the subgeneric names 

 proposed by Friese should be used in place of Dianthidium. 



XXXVII. — Discription of a new Japanese Vole. 

 By Malcolm P. Anderson. 



Craseomys niigata;, sp. n. 



Type. Adult c? • B.M. no. 8. 12. 1. 65. Collected by 

 Kiyoshi Kanai at Akakura, Niigata Prefecture, Hondo, 

 Japan, 7th Sept., 1908. 



This new species seems to be mo.''t closely related to 

 Craseomys ondersoni, Thos., but it differs externally from 

 that foim in colour, smaller size, and distinctly longer tail. 

 It is a much smaller animal than C. bedfordiie, Thos., of 

 Ildkkaido. In some respects it may be compared with 

 Evotomys {Phauloviys) smith ii, Thos. (see below).
