Lamdlicom Genus Popillia. 45 



spicuous and sharply defined. It is only moderately shining- 

 above, the pronotum is finely punctured except behind, and 

 the scutelluin is broad and rounded, not angulate, at the 

 apex. The mesosternum is produced into a short blunt 

 process, and the sides of the abdominal segments bear double 

 rows of short stiff hairs. 



Length 10-11 mm. ; breadth 6 mm.

Popillia leioisi, sp. n. 



Viridi-cuprea, elytris prothoracisque marginibus angustis, testaceis, 

 laevissime metallescentibus, tarsis antennisque piceis : modice 

 elongata, parum ccmvexa, nitidissima, capite subtiliter dense 

 rugoso, vertice poHto, parce punctato, clypeo parvo, sutura obso- 

 leta ; pronoto a basi ad apicem angustato, antice et lateraliter sat 

 fortiter punctato, postice medio bevissimo, basi medio parum. 

 profunde exciso ; scutello vix punctato ; elytris striis 5 dorsalibus 

 profunde impressis, bis minute punctatis, stria sexta grosse punc- 

 tata, antice abbreviata, reliquis grosse punctatis; pygidio grosse 

 transversim rugato, utrinque macula '-forma flavo-pilosa ad 

 apicem fore conjuncta, ornato ; processu mesosternali brevi, 

 compresso, corpore subtus ad latera rlavido-piloso, abdominis 

 segmentis lateraliter transversim bisectis, biseriatim pilosis. 



This is the third species of Popillia found in the Japanese 

 Islands and the smallest and most distinct of the three, P. ja- 

 jonica, Newm., and in.m'aris, Lewis, being nearly inter- 

 related and having an additional dorsal stria. P. lewisi is 

 easily distinguished from the rest of the marginicollis group 

 by the form of the long, curved, pubescent patches upon the 

 pygidium. In most of the species there are a few straggling 

 hairs between the basal tufts and the apex of the pygidium, 

 but here the hairs are almost equally dense from the base 

 almost to the apex, forming a comma-like patch on each side. 

 The sternal process is distinctly produced, but very broad 

 and blunt, and the pronotum is rather long, with its sides 

 convergent and only very feebly angulated in the middle. 



Two male specimens have been found and presented to the 

 British Museum by Mr. J. E. A. Lewis. 



Length 9 mm.; breadth 5 mm.
