60 Mr. G. Lewis on YiYotylidsd from Japan. 



Episcapha hamata^ Lewis. 

 Episcaplia hamata, Lewis, I. c. p. 140 (1883). 

 Not found by myself. 



Kenania. 



Antennge as long as the head and thorax ; first joint stout and 

 short, second and fourth to seventh moniliform and equal in 

 length, third one half longer than fourth, eighth very slightly 

 triangular, ninth and tenth compressed and transversely trian- 

 gular, eleventh rotundate, the last three forming a rather 

 lax club ; maxillary palpi short and not dilated ; head 

 moderate, with eyes slightly prominent, and rather coarsely 

 granulate ; thorax about one third wider than long, with 

 anterior angles a little produced ; elytra about four times as 

 long as the thorax, subparallel ; scutellum transverse ; legs 

 rather long ; fourth joint of tarsus very small. Prosternum 

 marginate at the coxse only, widening out anteriorly without 

 a keel or raised portion. I do not see any sexual differences ; 

 the mesosternum is rather large, and is, with the prosternum, 

 formed much as in Episcapha, near to which genus Renania 

 may be placed. The name of the brilliant French litterateur 

 has been adopted. 



Renania atrocyanea. 



Subelongata, atro-cyanea ; capite thoraceque sat parce punctulatis ; 

 elytris punctato-striatis. L. 6-6^ mill. 



Rather elongate, above dark cyaneous, beneath more 

 obscure ; head feebly biimpressed between the antennae, 

 rather more thickly punctured before than behind ; thorax 

 somewhat similarly punctured, with two shallow fovese at the 

 base, near the middle of each elytron ; the margin has a 

 fine stria behind, and is strongly marginate at the sides ; the 

 anterior angles are a little produced, with a small and very 

 distinct fovea in the centre of the interstice ; the legs are 

 rather elongate and simple in both sexes. 



I obtained eleven examples of this species incidentally 

 while beating brushwood in June, but could not trace it to 

 any fungus. One example was found under bark on Oyama 

 in December 1880 ; Chiuzenji and Kashiwagi are the other 

 localities for it. 



Neoteiplax (type atrata, Lewis). 

 Antennae about the length of the thorax, first and second
