PopiLiA INDIGONACEA, Motschulsky, Etud. Entom. 1853, p. 47. 



A few examples only were taken, at Gensan. Kolbe records it 

 as found commonly by Dr. Gottsche on the western side of Korea. 

 Originally described from examples taken near Peking. It is scarcely 

 more than a local var. of P. cyanea, Hope.

 Gensan and Fusan ; a very large number of examples. 

 The white pubescent spots of the pygidium distinguish this species 

 from P. indigonacea and cyanea, more conspicuously than the nar- 

 rower base and more convex surface of the elytra. P. ccerulea 

 (Boheni.) of Hong Kong (recurring in Formosa in numerous colour- 

 varieties) is a much smaller insect (]0| millim.), and distinguished 

 by the very deep fovese near the base of the elytra, the much deeper 

 strise, and the short and almost uniseriate puncture-row of the second 

 interstice. 



Of the variety there are several examples (from Fusan) in Mr. 

 Leech's collection ; others, with the castaneous spot clearer and larger, 

 were taken by A. Adams, either in Korea or on the coast of Man- 

 churia a little farther north. 



Von Heyden records P. adamas, Newm., from Korea ; but this is 

 an Indian species, widely different from the above, having white 

 pubescence, partly lying in a broad groove, on the sides of the thorax. 



PopiLiA BOGDANOwr, BalHon, Bull. Moscou, 1870, iv. p. 345. 



A small species (9-10| millim.), taken at Gensan ; agrees very 

 well with the above-cited description. It is closely allied and similar 

 to the Javan P. biyuttata (Wiedm.), and hke that species destitute 

 of fovese near the base of the elytra.

A series of examples from Gensan, differing little amongst them- 

 selves in form, colour, or sculpture, though considerably in pubescence,
