Sapporo. 



This species ranges from North-eastern Europe to Man- 

 churia, offering on the Amur some yariations of colour from the 

 European type-form ; but, as far as I am aware, no examples 

 entirely black have been found on continental Asia. 



Leptuea (Stektjea) adtjmbeata, n. sp. 



Elongata, nigro-fusca, pube fulvo-sericea dense vestita, elytris 

 utrinque plaga indistincta humerali, macula apicali, fasciisque 

 angustis obliquis duabus (altera ante, altera post medium) fuivo- 

 testaceis pube obscuratis ; femoribus auticis abdominisque mar- 

 ginibus fulvis ; auteunis tenuibus, articulis apicalibus fulvis ; 

 thorace elongato-campanuliformi, lateribus fere rectis, angulis 

 posticis A'alde elongatis ; elytris basi latis, apice oblique sinuato- 

 truncatis, angulo exteriori longe producto, subtiliter discrete 

 punctulatis. Long. 17 millim. 5 . 



ToMo ; one example. 



A species remarkable for the breadth of the elytra at the base, 

 "whence they are rapidly and straiglitly narrowed to the apex, 

 and the dense, not closely adpressed, pile which obscures the 

 yellow markings. The antennae are unusually slender, more so 

 than in Zi. ohliterata. 



Lepttjea (Stentjea) ntmphula, n. sp. 



Minor, gracilis, nigra, subtus argenteo-sericea ; elytris flaves- 

 centi-fuscis fulvo-hirtis, yitta interrupta marginali lineolisque 

 indistinctis discoidalibus (yersus basin) nigris ; antennis ( S cor- 

 pore multo longioribus) yersus apicem paullulum crassioribus 

 nigris, articulis 9-10 octavoque apice albis ; capite mox pone 

 oculos constricto, grosse discrete punctate ; thorace gracile cam- 

 panuliformi, antice sulcato-constricto, basi vix depresso, angulis 

 posticis parum productis, dorso discrete subtiliter punctato, linea 

 dorsali Isevi ; elytris apice oblique truncatis, discrete punctulatis ; 

 pedibus nigris, quatuor anticis plus minusve testaceis. Long. 

 9-12 millim. 



Var. Pallidior; antennis articulis 4-8 et 11"^° basi flavis, 

 elytris fulyescenti-flayis, yitta marginali nigra latiori (maculas
