Mr. W. L. Distant on Japanese Rhynchota. 27 
IV.—WNotes on a small Collection of Rhynchota from Toket, 
Japan. By W. L. Disrant. 
THe Rhynchota of the Japanese fauna having lately been 
studied by Scott and Horvath, who have published lists of 
species and described many novelties, I have considered it 
useful to give the result of an examination of a small collec- 
tion (principally Pentatomide) from the above locality, which 
has recently passed through my hands. The most interesting 
contribution which it contained is a somewhat remarkable 
new genus in the subfamily Asopine. 
NEOGLYPSUS, n. gen. 
Femora unarmed; abdomen armed with a short basal 
spine, which about reaches posterior coxe. Head large, 
elongate, lateral lobes much longer than central, meeting in 
front, but cleft at apex. Rostrum reaching the intermediate 
coxe, thick, second joint longest, third broad and flattened, 
about equal in length tofourth. Antenne long; second joint 
longer than the third, subequal to the fourth; third and fifth 
subequal. Pronotum with the lateral angles strongly pro- 
duced and spinous, the anterior lateral margins crenulated. 
Scutellum broad at base, with the apical portion elongated 
and the apex rounded, extending a little beyond base of mem- 
brane. Mesosternum with a distinct, central, moderately raised 
keel. Tibiz strongly sulcated; anterior tibiee armed with a 
distinct spine near middle. 
This genus is allied to Glypsus, from which it is at once 
separated by the unarmed femora. 
Neoglypsus viridicatus, n. sp. 
Above bronzy green, very coarsely punctate. Head thickly 
punctate, apical half of central lobe and apical margins of 
lateral lobes impunctate; lateral margins subreflexed. An- 
tenne fuscous, bases of the joimts ochraceous ; first joint very 
short, barely reaching middle of head ; second longest; third, 
fourth, and fifth subequal in length. Pronotum thickly punc- 
tate and transversely subrugulose ; lateral angles produced into 
strong, acute, slightly raised and recurved spines, cupreous in 
hue, lateral crenulated margins luteous. Pronotum thickly 
punctate and subrugulose, basal angles (narrowly) and apex 
cupreous. Corium very finely punctate, lateral margins 
(narrowly) and a narrow submarginal streak, extending about 
two thirds the length from base, ochraceous. Membrane
