194 MR. M. JACOBY ON NEW [Feb. 17, 



Var. b. Elytra and antennae fulvous ; the suture and a narrow 

 lateral stripe fuscous ; the costae, with the exception of the fourth 

 indistinct ; rest as in Var. a. (Nikko, Miya, Kiga.) 



Var. c. Larger, the elytra more smoothly punctured, without any 

 costse ; testaceous, thorax stained with fuscous. (Nikaido.) 



From the above localities specimens agreeing with the type in 

 colour and structure were also obtained ; between this and the above 

 varieties some more intermediate stages in colour and sculpture are 

 present, and it will be seen that Mr. Baly drew his descriptions from 

 unicolorous fulvous specimens ; the same author describes the thorax 

 as transverse, with which some specimens ( 2 ) agree ; in the males 

 the thorax is, however, much longer although agreeing in every 

 other respect ; but I have no doubt that all belong to one species. 

 The specimens vary in size from 2-4 lines. 



Genus Lema, Fabr. 

 Lema adamsi, Baly. 



A variety of this species, obtained at Yuyama, differs from the 

 typical form in having the elytral spots joined in shape of a longi- 

 tudinal broad band which occupies nearly the entire disk, leaving 

 only the sutural and lateral margin fulvous ; the tibiae and tarsi are 

 also entirely black ; in other respects there is no difference. I may 

 further remark that the specimens contained in the collection of 

 Mr. Lewis, as well as the variety described here, have the^r«^ joint 

 of the antennae fulvous only, not the two first as mentioned by 

 Mr. Baly, 



Lema dilecta, Baly. 



All the specimens before me, obtained at Ogura Lake and Kioto, 

 have black legs, with the exception of the base of the tibiae, which is 

 fulvous ; in the type the legs are entirely of that colour ; but I can 

 find no other differences whatever. 



Genus Crioceris, Geoffr. 

 Crioceris lewisi, n. sp. (Plate XI. fig. 3.) 



Oblong, parallel, subdepressed, black ; thorax fulvous, impunctate, 

 three spots on the disk and one at each side black ; elytra fulvous, 

 deeply punctate-striate ; the interstices partially costate, the suture 

 and a longitudinal band on each elytron black. 



Length 2^ hues. 



Head deeply constricted behind the eyes, with a deep longitudinal 

 groove between the eyes, the latter large and very prominent ; orbital 

 grooves distinct, the space between it and the eyes thinly covered 

 with yellow pubescence as well as the lower part of the face. Antennae 

 more than half the length of the body, black ; the three or four lower 

 joints shining, the rest covered with close pubescence, dilated ; the 

 second to the fourth joints gradually elongate. Thorax subquadrate, 

 moderately constricted at the middle, without a basilar groove, fulvous; 

 three elongate spots placed triangularly on the disk aud a long narrow
