292 Mr. G. Lewis on 



base below tlie humeral angle, leaving on the humeral angle 

 a black nearly circular space ; the red colour does not touch 

 the base on the sutural side ; j)Osteriorly the fascia has three 

 distinct tooth-like projections ; the posterior fascia is smaller, 

 with only two denticulations, which point towards the head ; 

 the antennre with the last five joints broad and densely black, 

 ninth and tenth nearly equal in size, basal joints pitchy red. 

 Male anterior tibiae swollen apically on the inner edge, and 

 in the middle of the bulge there is a small but very distinct 

 emargination. 



This species differs from S. japonicum, Eeit., in having 

 broader apical joints to the antenna?, in the outline of the 

 denticulate elytral fascise, and in the tibiai of the male being 

 emarginate. 



Hah. Occurs on the mountains in Kiushiu, and has been 

 found at Chiuzenji and on Ontaki-san. 



Scaphidium longijjes, sp. n. 



S. japonico simillimiim, sed pcdibus multo longioribus ; femoribus 

 anticis minute denticulatis ; elytris duabus maciilis sinuatis 

 rubris.

Oval, black, shining, each elytron with two red fascise ; the 

 fascise are much less wide than in S. emarginatum and agree 

 more closely with those of 8. japonicum ; the anterior band 

 has two ill-defined denticulations on the hinder edge, the 

 posterior band usually has two denticulations similar to that 

 of H. emarginatum^ but not so clearly marked; the legs are 

 much longer and the anterior thighs have a small tooth on 

 the underside nearer the tibiae than the middle of the limb. 

 The mesosternum also is wider. I see no other characters to 

 separate it from S. japonicum, except that it is a little broader 

 in its general build. 



Hab. Higo, and on the main island at Kiga and Miyano- 

 sliita. 



Scaphidium japonicum, Reitter. 



Hab. Main Island and Kiushiu. 

 The commonest species in Japan. 



Scaphidium femoraJe, sp. n. 



Ovatum, convexum, nigrum ; elytris duabus maculis flavo-rubris ; 



c? femoribus robuslc dentatis, 

 L. 4.4-0^ mill.
