100 Mr. G. Lewis on 
Hab. Taken between Ichiuchi and Hitoyoshi in some 
numbers on the 2nd May, 1881. The specimens were flying 
round sallows by the bank of the river, and now and then 
settled on the leaves. 
Epilichas flabellatus. 
Octoglossa flabellata, Kies. Berl. ent. Zeit. p. 243 (1874). 
I think it is impossible to assign this species to the South- 
American genus Octoglossa, and White’s genus is sufficiently 
characterized for adoption, being founded on a species (£. Can- 
dezet) from Hong Kong. pilichas Candezei has the thorax 
very conspicuously and transversely convex behind the neck, 
and the thorax is not distinctly punctured ; in colour it agrees 
with the variety of H. flabellatus with the thorax red. The 
claws in this genus are simple, and the tarsi are dilated and 
padded. I have a smaller undescribed species of this genus 
trom Kiukiang, China, measuring 94 millim., but in other 
respects it is very close to L. flabellatus. 
Hab. Nagasaki (very common in the flowers of the dog- 
rose), Nara, and Kobé. 
LEpilichas brunneicornis, sp. n. 
Rufo-brunneus, supra nigro-piceus, nitidus, pubescens; antennis 
pedibusque brunneis. 
L. 11 mill. 
Reddish brown, pitchy black above, shining, with dark 
pubescence ; the head somewhat densely and rather obscurely 
punctulate; maxillary palpi, terminal joint small and feebly 
securiform; the thorax less distinctly punctured than the 
head, margins broadly reddish brown; the scutellum reddish 
brown; the elytra striate, strize most deeply impressed api- 
cally, interstices distinctly punctate, sutural and epipleural 
margins narrowly, base more broadly, reddish brown; the 
legs and antenne obscurely reddish brown; male antenne 
with joints 3-10 strongly pectinate, basal joint bulbiform, 
second small, third with an appendage arising close to the 
base and nearly as long as the joint itself, fourth with one 
arising at the base and longer than the joint, 5 to 7 of similar 
form, in 8 to 10 the appendages arise from the middle of the 
joints, terminal joint elongate ; except the head the whole 
of the under surtace is reddish brown. 
The facies of this species is not very dissimilar to H. flabel- 
latus, Kies., but the palpi and antenne possess important
