simply triangulate in both sexes. In colour the species are 

 similar. 



Hab. Kiushiu and main island. This insect appears towards 

 the end of July. Nagasaki, Maiyasan near Kobe, and Fuku- 

 shima are special localities for it. 



Opilo carinatus, sp. n. 



Elongatus, rufo^brunneus, pubescens; capite rugose punctate; 



thorace in medio carinato; elytris striato-punctatis, in medio 



obscure luteo-fasciatis. 

 L. 12-13 miU. 



Elongate, reddish brown, the head impressed between the 

 eyes, rugosely, rather coarsely, and densely punctate ; the 

 thorax similarly punctured, with a depression in the middle ; 

 the centre of the depression has a smooth longitudinal carina ; 

 the elytra are distinctly striate-punctate, with apex, median 

 fascia, and humeral angles pale ; the dark portion, which 

 corresponds to the darkened disk in the next species, is 

 strongly produced anteriorly between the second and third 

 striaj from the suture, and also posteriorly along the edges of 

 the suture. 



Hab. Kiushiu. I obtained this species in the southern 

 island only. 



Opilo niponicus, sp. n. 



Elongatus, rufo-brunneus, pubescens ; antennis pedibusque corpora 

 concoloribus ; capite tenuiter punctato ; elytris striato-punctatis 

 vol obsolete puuctatis. 



L. 9-11 mill. 



Elongate, reddish brown, little shining; the head and 

 thorax lightly and somewhat rugosely punctured, feebly 

 impressed in the centre; the elytra somewhat faintly striate- 

 punctate at the base, the striaj being evanescent for one third 

 of the wing before the apex (in some specimens the striae are 

 obsolete throughout). The colour of the elytra is very 

 variable; the pattern is never defined as in 0. mollis^ L., 

 but usually there is a dark sutural disk before the apex, and 

 two pale marks in front of it on each elytron placed longitu- 

 dinally near the suture ; the apex is always broadly pale. 



The more important differences between this species and 

 0. mollis^ L., are that the thorax is much less punctate, the 

 antennse longer, with the club more lax, and the elytral striee 

 much less defined, while the pattern formed by the coloration 

 is very variable and often diffused. 



Hab, In the northern islands.
