728 MR. M. JACOBY ON THE [NoV. 3, 



LONGITARSUS HJEMORRHOIDALIS, Sp. nOV. 



Ovate, convex, black ; legs (the apices of the posterior femora 

 excepted) pale fulvous ; thorax very finely punctured; elytra black, 

 the apices fulvous, distinctly semipunctate-striate. 



Length 1 line. 



Head impunctate ; eyes large ; the frontal tubercles entirely 

 absent. Antennae nearly as long as the body, black, the three or 

 four basal joints fulvous, third and fourth joints equal in length, 

 slightly longer than the second. Thorax transversely subquadrate, 

 the sides nearly straight, not converging, the anterior angles 

 obliquely thickened ; surface very minutely and not very closely 

 punctured, the interspaces extremely finely granulate when seen 

 under a strong lens. Elytra narrowed at the apices, slightly widened 

 at the middle in the female, their surface much more strongly 

 punctured than that of the thorax, and arranged in close and rather 

 regular rows, black, the apex more or less broadly fulvous. Meta- 

 tarsus of the posterior tibiae half their length, the apex of the 

 posterior femora more or less piceous, the rest and the other legs 

 fulvous. 



Yokohama. 



Smaller and less robust than the European L. apicalisy the 

 antennae shorter and not so thick, the thorax more finely punctured 

 and less transverse, and the punctuation of the elytra more regularly 

 arranged. 



LONGITARSUS ORIENTALIS, Sp. UOV. 



Ovate, narrow behind, pale testaceous ; antennae, their basal joints 

 excepted, the sutural margin of the elytra, and the posterior femora 

 piceous ; thorax extremely finely, elytra more distinctly punctured. 



Length 1|-1| line. 



Head extremely finely transversely wrinkled when seen under a 

 strong lens, with a rather deep impression near the inner margin of 

 the eyes ; the frontal tubercles indistinct ; carina strongly raised. 

 Antennae nearly as long as the body, piceous or black, the three or 

 four basal joints obscure testaceous, third joint longer than the 

 second, but distinctly shorter than the fourth. Thorax transverse, 

 rather more than twice as broad as long, the sides straight, not 

 converging, the anterior angles oblique, surface very finely punctured 

 when seen under a strong lens, rather convex. Elytra widened 

 towards the middle, narrowed at the apex, closely and a little more 

 distinctly punctured than the thorax, the interstices not wrinkled, 

 the suture narrowly piceous through its entire length, but this 

 colour slightly widened below the middle; posterior femora and 

 the last joints of the tarsi piceous. 



Kurigahara. 



Nine specimens of this species were obtained : it is no doubt 

 allied to several European forms and to one or two others de- 

 scribed by Motschulsky, the descriptions given by this author 

 being too superficial to identify with certainty his species. L, 

 orientalis may be known by its comparative large size, the trans-
