Several specimens were obtained in May and June 1881, a few 

 of which are of the variety without spots ou the posterior part of 

 the elytra. Some years ago I saw specimens which were said to 

 iiave been found at Hakodate.

.3. Mycetina laticollis, n. sp. (Plate LIII. fig. 2.) 



Nigro-picea, nitida; elytvis castaneis, disco indistincte infuscato, 

 valde convexis ; antennurum articulo apicali, geniculis tarsisque 

 rvfis. Long. 31-4 miUim. 



Hub. Main Island : Kashiwagi, Nara, Maiyasan at Kobe. 



A good deal larger than M. cmcoriger, broader and with the 

 elytra more convex. Anteiuise longer in proportion, and with their 

 joints all less transverse. Eyes rather large and more coarsely 

 granulate than in 31. amabilis ; mouth and palpi rufous. Thorax 

 twice as wide as long, very similar in form to that of M. ancorigtr, 

 impunctate, basal sulci deep, and curving inwards at their apices. 

 Scutellum of the same rufous colour as the elytra, the latter very 

 much swollen, rather strongly rounded at the sides ; viewed laterally 

 they are slightly gibbous, distinctly punctured, but not very deeply 

 so. The underside is pitchy, the abdomen pitchy red. I have only 

 seen seven examples of this Mycetina, two from each of the localities 

 first named and two or three from the neighbourhood of Kobe.
