of the connate segments of the abdomen is interrupted at a 

 point which clearly indicates an obsolete suture. The suture 

 can also be traced across the abdomen by a smooth line ; the 

 pygidium is carinate. The claws are robust aud the inner process 

 stout. There is a permanent variety in the northern parts of 

 Japan which I name A. cupreo-viridis. The head and thorax 

 are bright and coppery, and the elytra green. 



The males have the inner edge of all the thighs densely 

 pubescent. 



Hal. All the islands, on the Quercus serrata, Thunb. 



Agbilus SPiNiPE]srNis, sp. n.

 elytris nigris, apicibus conspicue spinosis. L. 9-lOJ millim. 



The head golden, strigose on the summit, face rugosely 

 punctured and bright green, with a median linear impression ; 

 the thorax golden or coppery, transversely rugose, especially on 

 the disk, slightly constricted before the base, hind angles rather 

 acute, carina short and curved ; the scutellum bipartite, anterior 

 portion transverse and angulate behind, inferior portion T- 

 shaped, posteriorly very acute; the elytra black and very evenly

 denticulate, with the median portion of each elytron elongated 

 and forming a conspicuous spine. The under surface and legs

 indicated ; claws rather robust, inner process long. AVhen not 

 abraded there is a whitish pilosity on the elytra at the suture 

 behind the middle. - In the male the fore and intermediate tibise 

 are bent, the latter being spinose aud swollen close to the tarsi. 



Similar to .A. indigaceus, Dey., from Dorey, and like others 

 from Singapore and the Philippine Islands.
