286 ON THE PHYTOPHAGOUS COLEOPTERA OF JAPAN, [Mar. 1/, 



largest, the basal one connected with the base, and two marginal 

 ones representing the usual rami, the front one of which is l)eiow 

 the humeral angle, and the posterior one is rather in advance of the 

 subapical discoidal spot. The series of punctures are nine in numl)er, 

 with a tenth row of large and irregular impressions in the fold where 

 the margin commences to be expanded; the striae are somewhat 

 geminate, and the large punctures are at unequal distances. 



A single individual of this very distinct species was brought home 

 by Mr. Lewis, who met with it at Nowata. 



HiSPINjE. 



The Hispince seem very poorly represented in Japan by four 

 species, one new species having been added by Mr, Lewis since his 

 first expedition.
