founJ, some sliowiiig more or less tendency to becoming four-spotted, 

 but only two or three definitely four-spotted varieties. Sexual 

 distinction not apparent. 



3. Cyanauges auADRA, n. sp. (Plate LIII. fig. 8.) 



Niger, nitidus, elytris latius ovatis, singulis maculis duabus ornatis, 

 una humerali, una subapicali, flavis. Long. 5 millitn. 



Hab. Main Island : Kashiwagi. 



Black, elytra each with two orange-yellow spots, one on the 

 shoulder, and one larger and transverse near the apex. Head and 

 thorax inipunctate, the latter narrow, ba<al sulci distinct and deep, 

 a little arcuate and si nple (e. e. not bisu'.cate at the base), the sidt-s 

 narrowing from the base and sinuous, front margin between the 

 angles nearly straight. Elytra thickly but quite distinctly punctu- 

 late ; their widest part is below the middle; apex broadly rounded. 

 The antennae have their fourth and subsequent joints short, but not 

 transverse, the third nearly equal to the fourth and fifth taken 

 together. 



A single specimen. 



4. Cyanauges nigropiceus, n. sp. (Plate LIII. fig. 7.) 



Niger ; ore, eJytris, pedibus et corpore sublus saturate nigro-piceis, 

 abdominis apice dihitius piceo. Long. 4 millim.

Vt-ry like C gorhami; compared with which it is a rather shorter and 

 broader insect, and without any of the blue tinge wliicii characteiizes 

 that species. The thorax is twice as wide as long, very smootli, tlie 

 disk rather convex, the basal sulci distinct and half the length of 

 the disk, quite as in C. goj-hami, except that itis wider and altogether 

 rather larger. Elytra punctured, but rather faintly so, black, but 

 with a pitchy tinge, less ovate and more broadly rounded behind 

 than in 0. gorhumi. Antennae with joint 4 very little sliorter than 

 3 : 5-8 longer than wide but gradually shorter. Abdomen becoming 

 gradually lighter in colour from the base to the apex. 



Three specimens.

Tarsi quadriarticu/ati, hand lobati. Prosternum processu inter- 

 coxaii anguflo, lanceolato, maryiuato. Pronutum late marginatum 

 ut in genere Stenotarso, maryine deplanato concave, limbo 

 crenulato. Antennis urticulo nouo et decimo suhquadratis

 This new name is proposed for a genus of the family Endomy- 

 chidse, alhed on one hand to Stenotarsus by the broad flat margin 

 of tlie thorax, but more closely, in general structure, especially by 

 that of the tarsi, to 8ymbiotes. The tarsi are quite simple, i. e. with- 

 out a long bilobed second joint as in Stenotarsus. The prosternum 

 entirely agrees with th->t of Symbiotes. Of the tiophi 1 cannot 

 speak particuliuly, there being only two specimens of the single
