Lase Ll'Iuw the liunieial Jiiigle, leaving on the liiuiieial angle 

 n black nearly circular space; the red colour does not touch 

 tl'.e base on the sutural side; posteriorly the fiiscia has three 

 distinct tooth-like projections; the ])osterior fascia is smaller, 

 Avith only two denticulations, which ])oint towards the head ; 

 the antennfewith the last five joints broad and densely black, 

 ninth and tenth nearly equal in size, basal joints pitchy red. 

 !Male anterior tibiae swollen apieally on the inner edge, and 

 in the middle of the bulge there is a small but very distinct 

 eniargination. 



This species differs from S. Japonicum, Eeit., in having 

 broader apical joints to the antenna^, in the outline of the 

 denticulate elytral fasciw, and in the tibiie of the male being 

 emarginate. 



JJab. Occurs on the mountains in Kiu.^hiu, and has been 

 found at Chiuzenji and on Ontaki-san. 



Scapkidi'um longipes, sp. n. 



S. Japonico simillimum, sed pedibus multo longioribus ; femoribus 

 anticis minute denticulatis ; elytris duabus niaculis sinuatis 

 rubris. 



L. 7 mill. 



Oval, black, shining, each elytron with two red fascire ; the 

 fascia3 are much less wide than in S. emarfjfyratum and agree 

 more closely with those of S. japoyiicum ; the anterior band 

 has two ill- defined denticulations on the hinder edge, the 

 posterior band usually has two denticulations similar to that 

 of S. emarfftrwtiim, but not so clearly marked; the legs are 

 much longer and the anterior thighs have a small tooth on 

 the underside nearer the tibia than the middle of the limb. 

 The mesosternum also is wider. I see no other characters to 

 separate it from 8. japonicnm, except that it is a little broader 

 in its general build. 



Hah. Higo, and on the main island at Kiga and AJiyano- 

 shita. 



Scaphidium japonicum^ lleitter.
