the Lamellicorn Coleoptera of Japan. 403 
Popilia japonica, Newman. 
Popitia gaponica, Newm. Trans. Ent. Soc. Lond. p. 43 (1841). 
Popilia bisignata, Sturm, Cat. p. 120 (1843). 
Hab, South Japan. Very common; but I did not meet 
with it north of Ontaki on the Nakasendo. 
Popilia insularis, sp. n. 
P. japonice simillima, sed paullo minor et thorace sparse punctato, 
elytrisque margine exteriore late viridi-metallicis. 
Long. 10-103 mill. 
Oval; head, thorax, scutellum, and pygidium brilliant 
green like those of P. japonica, Newm.; the elytra are widely 
margined with a band of metallic green; which leaves the 
second to the fifth and part of the sixth interstices from the 
base to the middle of the dorsum yellowish brown. There is 
not much variation in colour between the examples before me. 
The head, margin of clypeus well and evenly raised, punctures 
on the clypeus close and somewhat rugose, punctures between 
the eyes more distinct, but many confluent, punctures before 
the neck more sparse; the thorax, anterior angles less acute 
than in P. japonica, and the punctuation finer and more 
scattered; the scutellum punctured very similarly to that of 
P. japonica, but distinctly less acutely pointed behind; the 
under surface and legs are wholly dark metallic green. 
Hab. Oshima (Ferrie, 1895). Four examples examined. 
Adoretus tenuimaculatus, Waterhouse. 
Harold and von Heyden consider this a variety of A. wm- 
brosus, F., a species with a synonymy of nine names in the 
Munich Catalogue; the localities given there are Senegal, 
Java, Sumatra, &c. I have allowed Waterhouse’s name to 
remain, as I think the synonymy doubtful. 
Hab. South Japan. Very common in July and August.
