The yellow margin does not extend over the carina at the 

 apex of the elytra, which are ribbed strictly to the pattern of 

 I. indigacea, Pascoe. This species is rare ; but I have found it 

 in elevated sylvan districts both at Hiogo and Nagasaki in 

 August. 



Hab. South Japan. 



Epicauta taishoensis, n. sp. 



E. elongata, subparallela, nigra, subnitida, griseo-pubescens ; capite 

 thoraceque dense punctatis; elytris subopacis, dense rugoso-punc- 

 tulatis. L. 7 lin. 



The head is black, with a broad margin of red behind the 

 eyes, which is narrowly interrupted in the centre before the 

 neck. There is also a red spot on the forehead between the 

 eyes ; and the basal joint of the antennse has a red patch in the 

 middle, on the underside. 



Near E.Jlabellicorm's, Germ. ; but in that European species 

 the thorax is much more closely punctured. From E. Gorhami, 

 Marseul (J apanese) , it is separated by its wholly black thorax 

 and elytra and the black surface behind the eyes. 



Hab. Tsusima. 



Prionocerus fuscipennis, n. sp. 



P. obscuro-fuscus vel subseneo-metallicus ; capite seutelloque ob- 

 scuro-viridibus ; thorace rufo ; elytris tborace latioribus, postice 

 subdilatatis, carinulis vix distinctis, nigro-pubescentibus. L. 

 5 lin. 



About the size of P. cyanipennis, Perty, from which it differs 

 wholly in colour. The elytral nerves are furnished at intervals 

 with long stiffish black hairs ; and this seems a special cha- 

 racter of this species. 



Hab. Yokohama. 



Leptura succedanea, n. sp. 



L. 2 nigra, elongata, vix nitida, brunneo-pubescens ; thorace supra, 

 elytris totis, tibiis in medio rubris. 



This is the representative in Japan of the European L. rubra, 

 L. ; the chief differences are its bright colour, more slender 

 figure, comparatively longer antenna;, blacker legs, and much 

 finer punctation on the segments of the abdomen. I do not 

 know the male. 



Hab. North Nipon (Van Volxem). 



Necydalis pennata, n. sp. 

 N. elongata, nigra, nitida, cinereo-tomentosa ; capite punctato; oculis
