102 Mr. G. Lewis on 
I have a fifth species from Yuyama in Higo; it measures 
7 millim., and is wholly piceous brown in colour, with 
reddish legs. The species is not very unlike E. niponicus, 
but I only know the female. 
DRUPEUS, gen. nov. 
I propose to establish this genus to receive three small 
species, which in general outline are very similar indeed to a 
species of Epilichas. The maxillary palpi are very slender, 
with the terminal joint simple, not securiform; the two basal 
joints of the antenne are very small, and the third joint not 
pectinate, and the tarsi are very long and simple, almost 
filiform, and quite as long as the tibia that bears them. The 
antenne are pectinate, somewhat like those of an Epilichas ; 
but the appendages are all clearly apical. 
Drupeus letabilis, sp.n. (Woodcut, fig. 1.) 
Niger, nitidus ; antennis basi, thorace angulis, femoribus tarsisque 
testaceis. 
L. 54 mill. 
Black, shining, with blackish pubescence ; two basal joints 
of the antenne, hind angles of the thorax, thighs, and tarsi 
testaceous, tibia somewhat darker; the head rather closely,

finely, but clearly punctulate ; the thorax narrowest ante- 
riorly, broadest posteriorly, convex behind the neck, not so 
clearly punctulate as the head, hind angles rather broadly 
testaceous, basal edge crenulate; the scutellum cordiform 
punctulate ; the elytra finely and rugosely punctulate, vaguely
