336 MR. G. LEWIS OS THE 



Agetlus ctjpes, sp. n. 



Viridi-cyaDeus, nitidus ; thorace ante scutellum depresso, lateribus parum 

 dilatato, postice obtuse angulato ; elytris vix dense asperatis. L. 6^-6 

 millim. 



Bright bluish green, rather robust. Antennae rather stout and 

 joints compact; the head strigose above and rugose between the 

 lines, channelled in the middle, face rugosely punctate; the 

 thorax transversely rugose, little dilated laterally, hind angles 

 obtuse, base sinuous, before the scutellum a somewhat deep 

 depression circular in outline, carina short and bent; the 

 scutellum is strigosely sculptured, with a transverse ridge in the 

 middle, but not conspicuously bipartite as in the preceding 

 species, A. spinipennis, and the three following ; the elytra, 

 sculpture not very dense, apices obtuse and obscurely denticu- 

 late. Beneath, the abdominal suture is scarcely indicated ; in 

 one specimen the colour is blue, in the other green. The first 

 joint of the hind tarsus is short. 



This is the brightest coloured species in the series. 



Hah. Main island. ISTumata and Chiuzeuji, two examples. 



Ageiltjs beevita-Rsis, sp. n. 



Cupreus, robustus, immaculatus ; antennis tarsisque brevibus, subtus 

 pedibusque seneis. L. 8 millim. 



Cupreous ; the head rugose, very similarly sculptured on the 

 vertex and face, but the sculpture on the former is arranged 

 longitudinally, median impression conspicuous on the anterior 

 edge of the vertex ; the antennae short and robust, joints not 

 lax; the thorax transversely and somewhat coarsely rugose, 

 impressed twice in the middle and once on either side within 

 the margin, hind angles obtuse ; the scutellum bipartite, upper 

 portion truncate at the sides and thickly punctulate, inferior 

 portion X~shaped, with the transverse piece rugose and the 

 hinder part punctulate ; the elytra immaculate, not very evenly 

 sculptured, denticulate at the apex ; the legs aeneous, tarsi short, 

 claw with inner process scarcely visible. The first joint of the 

 hind tarsus is conspicuously shortened. 



Hab. Main island. Found at Chiuzenji, 14th June, 1881. 



Some of the American species of Agrilus have the fourth 

 joint of the antennse cylindrical; this is not the case in any 

 species of this series.
