than the third, the two together about as long as the basal 

 joint ; terminal joint slender, about as long as the basal joint. 

 The place of this genus will be between Myrmoecia and 

 Calh'cerus ; the insect resembles Callicerus ohscurus in ap- 

 pearance, but it is well distinguished by the structure of the 

 breast. 



Saphocallus 2)arvice2)s^ n. sp. 



Angustulus, fuscus, antennis pedibusque rufis : elytris fusco-ferru- 

 gineis ; thorace subquadrato, densissime punctato, opaco, elytris 

 illo longioribus, fortiter punctatis. 



Long. 3| millim. 



Antennae elongate, red, darker at the base, third joint quite 

 as long as the second, tenth as long as broad, terminal joint 

 elongate, nearly twice as long as the tenth. Head narrow, 

 and considerably narrowed behind the prominent eyes. 

 Thorax evidently narrower than the elytra, nearly as long as 

 broad. Elytra rather roughly punctured, conspicuously 

 emarginate near the outer hiud angle. Hind body slender, 

 shining, the base of each segment punctate and somewhat 

 depressed. In the male there is a tubercular elevation on 

 each wing-case near the suture behind ; a short denticle on 

 the middle near the hind margin of the penultimate dorsal 

 plate of the hind body ; the hind margin of the terminal 

 dorsal plate is emarginate, and the genital armature projects 

 as two short, stout, corneous processes. 



Nagasaki, 6th April, 1881 ; one specimen. 



Atemeles sinuata, n. sp. 



Eufula, capite, thorace (lateribus exceptis), abdomine ex parte pec- 

 toreque nigris ; thorace punctulato utrinque foveolato, lateribus 

 valde emarginatis, basi in medio longe lateque lobato. 



Long. 5 millim. 



Antennse moderately long and stout, penultimate joint 

 slightly transverse. Head small, narrow, black, quite dull. 

 Thorax transverse, irregular in shape, sides much elevated, 

 a large fovea on each side, the base much produced in the 

 middle. Elytra a little longer than the thorax, densely, very 

 finely punctate. Hind body densely tufted at the sides and 

 less conspicuously at the apex. 



This is allied to A. emargttiata, but has the thorax con- 

 siderably more eccentric in form.
