maculis haud transversis.

Q. Black, somewhat opaque; the head rugosely sculptured, without 
definite punctuation, the clypeus transversely red before the base, anterior 
edge reflexed and distinctly emarginate, feebly impressed; the thorax 
punctate, punctures large but not deep, and somewhat sparsely set, ante- 
rior angles obtuse, from the anterior angles to the middle of the lateral 
edge the thorax is more or less oblique, lateral edge and base margined 
with yellow, a median line which does not touch the edge before or 
behind and a bent line on each side of it also yellow; the elytra, epi- 
pleural rim, sutural margin, and the dorsal region on interstices 3 to 6 
black, median black marking surrounded with a broad red band, on the 
ninth interstice close to the margin is a small yellow spot, and parallel to 
it behind the base is a large spot occupying interstices 4 to 6, behind 
the middle is a third blotch on interstices 4 and 5 and overlapping inter- 
stices 3 to 6, behind the last spot on the second interstice is a fourth 
yellow spot; the pygidium has a broad crescent-shaped yellow band at 
its base, disk black, apex red; the legs and antennz reddish brown, tibize 
more or less infuscate. Another female is black, with yellow mariings 
on the thorax and elytra similar to above ; and a male before me is black, 
with similar markings, and the elytra in the region of the scutellum and 
the anterior edge of the thorax margined with yellow.

Paratrichius Donitzi, Harold. 
Gnorimus Donitzi, Har. Deutsche ent. Zeit. xxiii. p. 866 (1879). 
Paratrichius longicornis, Jan, Cist. Ent. ii. p. 611, pl. xi. fig. 1; Lew. 
Ann. & Mag. Nat. Hist. xix. p. 200 (1887). 
The clypeus of this species in the male is excavated, with a well-marked 
lateral carina, the antennal leaflets are one third longer than in P. dupli- 
catus, the scutellum is wider, and the elytral markings are irregular trans- 
verse lines, not blotches, and, so far as I know, the females alone are 
entirely black. 
Buprestide. 
Chalcophora japonica, Gory. 
Schonfeldt (Ent. Nachr. xvi. p. 172, 1890) has given the varietal name 
of C. oshimana to the bright examples of this species found in the 
Ruikiuan Islands. 
Elateride. 
CRYPTOHYPNUS. 
Students of this genus should refer to Champion’s note (Ent. Month. 
Mag. p. 98, 1895); and in the ‘Biologia’ some curious sexual characters 
will be noticed.

Athous subcyaneus, Motsch. Bull. Mose. p. 166, 1866 (absque charact.). 
I made an error of determination of this species in the Ann. & Mag.
