BUPRESTID^ OF JAPAIST. 329 



costatis, interstitiis rugosissimis, apicalibus emarginatis ; tibiis intermediis 

 fortiter spinosis, tarsis cyaneis. L. 12 millim. 



Head coppery, rugose, impressed between the eyes, with 

 scattered whitish hair ; the thorax with two broad median smooth 

 lines or longitudinal spaces and a much shorter and broken 

 smooth space outside of them; the thorax and elytra agree in 

 colour with those of Chalcopliora japonica, Gory, but the elytra 

 have small scattered patches of whitish hairs. The QJytral costse 

 very crooked and irregular, the interstices very rough and 

 perforated rather than punctured ; the apex of each is emarginate, 

 the sutural and outer edge being prolonged into a denticulation. 

 The legs coppery, tarsi cyaneous, middle tibiae with a long 

 spine on the inner edge projecting at right angles from just 

 above the middle, between the spine and the tarsi the edge o£ 

 the tibia is serrate. 



This insect seems allied to the American species of the genus. 

 It is similar to D. asperata, Lap., and D. spreta, Gory, as 

 regards the apices o£ the elytra, and is somewhat like D. tene- 

 hrosa, Kirby, with respect to the tibial spine. Whether this 

 spine is a sexual character I am unable to say. 



Sab. Main island, on the 22nd June, 18S1. A single example 

 from a faggot of Cri/ptomeria-wood at Kashiwagi. 



PCECILONOTA BELLULA, Sp. n. 



Viridissima, lateribus auratis ; elytris interstitiis nigro- vel cupreo-macu- 

 latis ; antennis nigris, pedibus viridibus. L. 9-11 millim. 



Bright green, with the sides of the thorax and elytra golden. 

 The head rugosely punctate, face golden, antennae black ; the 

 thorax widest in the middle, hind angles obtuse, bisinuous at 

 base, a median line black, with indications of two others on 

 each side, rugose at the sides, densely punctate on the disk ; the 

 scutellum transverse, hind angles slightly produced ; the elytra 

 punctate-striate, interstices rugosely punctured, with numerous 

 patches or spots which are black in one light and coppery in 

 another; apices trispinose. Beneath, more or less golden green; 

 legs green. 



This species may be placed next to P. rtitilans, F. 



Hai. Tezo. A small series taken at Junsai in August 1880. 



P(ECILOKOTA TIT ATA, sp. n. 



Viridis, subtus cyaneo-viridis ; elytris 8-maculatis, maculis nigris ;
