1885.] PHYTOPHAGOUS COLEOPTERA OF JAPAN. 283 



rugse, which enclose six aieolets around this point ; opaque ; a minute 

 yellow mark very near the apex, and the sides widely yellow. 



Two more specimens, one agreeing in size with the specimen from 

 Hiogo, the other a little smaller, were brought by Mr. Lewis from 

 Kiga and Seba on the main island. 



This species is of the form and size of Coptocycla {Deloyala) 

 clavata, with which it seems to me it ought to be placed ; indeed, I 

 should have thought it was evidently a Coptocycla. 



Cassida rxjgifera.

Described from a single example, 5 millim. in length, and not 

 compared with any other species.

Japan, Hiogo' in main island, Hakodate and Junsai in Yezo. 



A single specimen from each of the two latter localities are all 

 that Mr. Lewis met with ; they vary a little in the rugae, which are 

 less raised in the Junsai specimen.
