466 On new Species of Coleoptera from Japan. 



impresso ; elytris sat convexis, annulo hutnerali fere integro, extus 

 bidentato, ramum unidentatum emittente, fasciaque denticulata 

 subapicali rubris. L. 6 lin. 



This species comes into the E. vestita group ; but it is not 

 pubescent, and is more clearly punctured than any of its 

 allies. The denticulations of both the humeral annulus and 

 the apical lunular fascia are of the pattern of E. Fortunei, 

 Crotch ; but the form and punctation are very different. I 

 have much pleasure in dedicating this species to my friend 

 the Rev. H. S. Gorham.

Coccinella Crotchi, n. sp. 



C. niger, subnitidus, punctatus : capite maculis duabus flavis notato ; 

 prothoracis margine anteriore angusto, flavo ; elytris basi (sutura 

 excepta) late rlava, ante apicem singulatim flavo maculatis; pedi- 

 bus anterioribus flavis. L. 2 lines. 



The type of this species has two pale spots on the head ; but 

 in a series these spots are often confluent, or the head wholly 

 flavous. I do not observe greater variations. The anterior 

 margin of the thorax is pale ; and the angles being wholly 

 so, give an appearance of greater breadth in that region. 

 There is a broad margin of yellow colour at the base of the 

 wing-case (suture black), and a patch just before the apex, 

 the last not touching the edge of either elytron. 



Novius concolor, n. sp. 



N. niger, subnitidus, undique subtilissime punctatus ; griseo-pubes- 

 cens ; tborace elytrisque totis rufis. 



Half as large again as N. limbatus, Motsch., from which it 

 may be known by its red thorax, scutellum, and elytra. 



Hob. Hiogo, Maiyasan temple, from which I possess a 

 series. 



Note. — I am indebted to Mr. H. W. Bates for the follow- 

 ing descriptions of two new Japanese Longicorns in his 

 collection : — 



Saperda tetrastigma. 



S. punctate? affinis ; nigra, griseo-pubescens, supra griseo-fulva, nigro- 

 setosa ; capite maculis duabus, thorace quatuor, elytris utrinque 

 quatuor lineatim digestis nigris ; antennis articulis 3. et 4. et 6.-11. 

 basi griseis. Long. 6| lin. <$ . 



Of similar form to S. punctata, but rather less narrowed 

 posteriorly. The head is broader and the forehead strongly
