BUPRESTID^ or JAPAN, 335 



The species is relatively longer aud more parallel than the 

 others of this list. 



Hah. Main island. Usui-toge, Eukui, and Chiuzenji. 



Ageilus tibialis, sp. n. 



Obscure seneus ; capita vertice leviter canaliculato ; thorace lateribus 

 impresso ; c? tibiis posticis extus robustis. L. 5|-5f millim. 



Obscurely seneous. The head, vertex strigose, face roughly 

 punctured, with a white pilosity, feebly canaliculate on the 

 summit ; the antennae, joints rather lax ; the thorax somewhat 

 quadrate, posterior angles slightly constricted, transversely 

 rugose, impressed obliquely at the sides, carina short and ill- 

 defined ; the scutellum, superior part densely but finely 

 sculptured. c?, the thighs are very robust, tarsi short, hind 

 tibia swollen on the outer edge before the apex ; § , thighs 

 much less stout, tibise simple. 



The male characters of this species differ from all in this series. 



Sah. Tezo. Taken commonly at Junsai and Sapporo. 



Ageilus geacilipes, sp. n. 



Nigro-cyaneus. A. tibiali s,ivQ.\\\\m\is, sed pedibus gracllioribus. L. 5|- 

 5| millim. 



Blackish blue. The head, summit strigose, face roughly punc- 

 tured, pilose, feebly canaliculate above ; the antennae rather long, 

 joints lax ; the thorax transversely strigose, carina short and 

 curved, not well defined, posterior augles a little acute, impressed 

 at the sides ; the elytra evenly sculptured, apices obscurely 

 denticulate ; the legs and tarsi slender and rather elongate, in 

 the male intermediate tibise feebly bent with the apex slightly 

 enlarged. 



There a.re only slight characters to distinguish this species 

 from A. tibialis, except in the legs, which are very different. It 

 is the only blue species from Japan with slender legs ; in this 

 respect it agrees with A. fortunatus. 



Hah. Main island. Nikko, Nara, and Miyanoshita. 



Ageilus discalis, E. Saund. 



This species has a remarkable thoracic carina which extends 

 from the base to the anterior angle and is widely sinuous in the 

 middle of its course. 



Sab. Kiushiu and Main island. Common in winter under 

 the loosened bark of Zelkowa keahi, Sieb. Taken abundantly at 

 Bukeuji near Yokohama in March.
