1885.] PHYTOPHAGOUS COLEOPTERA OF JAPAN. 283 



rugae, which enclose six areolets around this f)oint ; opaque ; a minute 

 yellow mark very near the apex, and the sides widely yellow. 



Two more syiecimens, one agreeing in size with the specimen from 

 Hiogo, the other a little smaller, were brought by Mr. Lewis from 

 Kiga and Seba on the main island. 



This species is of the form and size of Coptocycla {DeloyaJa) 

 clavata, with which it seems to me it ought to be placed ; indeed, I 

 should have thought it was evidently a Coptocycla. 



Cassida rxjgifera. 



Cassida rugifera, Kraatz, loc. cit. p. 274. 

 Japan. 



Described from a single example, 5 millim. in length, and not 

 compared with any other species.

Coptocycla lewisii. 



Coptocycla lewisii, Baly, I.e. p. 214^ 



Japan, Hiogo^ in main island, Hakodate and Junsai in Yezo. 



A single specimen from each of the two latter localities are all 

 that Mr. Lewis met with ; they vary a little in the rugae, which are 

 less raised in the Junsai specimen. 



Coptocycla crxjcifera. 



Copcocycla crucifera, Kraatz, loc. cit. p. 271.

 C. versicolor, and about the size of C. thais, viz. 5 millim. 

 Apparently not met with by Mr. Lewis,
