and Nagasaki. The species is no doubt quite distinct from 

 the European C. pubescens. 



Conosoma Jimbriatum, n. sp. 



Majus, nigrum, subopacum, sat dense punctatum, pedibus rufis; 



antennis fuscis basi at articulo ultimo testaeeis, hoc elongato ; 



tibiis intermediis apice nigro-ciHatis, ciliis intus vix ascenden- 



tibus. 

 Long. 6 miUim. 



Antennge elongate, the tenth joint quite as long as broad, 

 the three or four basal joints pale, and the apical joint also 

 pale, this latter elongate, a little longer than the ninth and 

 tenth together. Thorax with the base truncate and the hind 

 angles rounded, not at all produced, the hind margin more or 

 less picescent. Elytra slightly longer than the thorax. 

 Hind body entirely black. Mesosternum with a strong 

 carina ; epipleurse at shoulders much developed in the per- 

 pendicular direction ; middle tibia; rather stout, the black 

 fimbrise with which they are armed at the extremity only 

 just extending along the rounded angle. 



Found in the main island, at Yokohama, and in fungi at 

 Nikko. 



Conosoma tibiale, n. sp. 



Sat crassum, fusco-nigrum, subopacum ; antennis pedibusque testa- 

 eeis, illis in medio fuscis, articulo ultimo sat elongato, decimo 

 latitudine fere longiore ; elytris ad basin vage rufescentibus ; ab- 

 domine ferrugineo-cingulato ; tibiis intermediis apice nigro-cilia- 

 tis, ciliis ad marginem interiorem evidenter ascendentibus. 



Long. 5g millim. 



This insect is very similar to G. Jimbriatum, but differs in 

 the important fact that the black cilia of the apex of the 

 middle tibise are conspicuously continued for a short distance 

 upwards along the inner margin. The punctuation of the 

 surface is not nearly so dense as in many species of the genus ; 

 when the hind body is extended it is seen that the segments are 

 broadly cingulate with reddish colour, and that the hind part 

 of the penultimate segment and the greater part of the terminal 

 segment at the base are yellowish. In the strongly cari- 

 nate mesosternum and the epipleural development at the 

 shoulders C. tibiale and C. Jimbriatum are similar. 



Two individuals found in fungi at Nikko and one at Oya- 

 yama, April 26, 1881.
