The following Japanese species belong to the genus: — H. luxuri- 

 osus, H. fraudator, H. sejunctus, and S. degener*.

3a^a,n{Whiteli/). Hakodate (?). 



Mr. Lewis considers this as belonging either to M. sejunctus or 

 M.fraudator (Bates). I have seen no specimens which exactly 

 agree with Pascoe's description of the antennae. 



Ue^cha geiseola, n. sp. 



Elongata, angusta, fusca, antennis (scapo fusco excepto) pedi- 

 busque fulvescenti-ruiis, elytris apice obtuse rotundatis, griseis, 

 fusco maculatis, vitta mediana valde obliqua, maculaque irregulari 

 submarginali, f uscis ; thorace et elytris quam in U. himaculata 

 grossius punctatis ; spina lateral! thoracica angusta, acutissima 

 paullulum hamata. Long. 9 millim. S • 



Kashiwagi. 



Of similar elongate sublinear form to the type species U. hi- 

 maculata; the antennge also proportionately long, more than 

 twice the length of the body. From Urcecha (Monohammus) 

 angusta, Pascoe, with which it agrees in the obtuse apices of the 

 elytra, it differs in markings, and especially in the finer and 

 longer thoracic spines. 



Ue^cha BIMACIJLA.TA, TJiomson. 

 South and Central Japan ; also Tezo. 



Mectnipptjs, nov. gen. 

 Gren. Goes (Leconte) simillimus, Thesto (Pascoe) affinis. 

 Maxime elongatus, sublinearis. Caput sicut in MonoJiammis 

 veris, oculis infra paullo latins quadratis ; palpi teuues, apice 

 acuminati. Antennge ( c? $ ) corpore paullo longiores ; scapo 

 brevi, oblongo-conico, cicatrice lata grosse scabrosa integriter 



* Haplohammus is closely allied to Orsidis, Pascoe, and I have hesitated to 

 separate it ; the form of the scape and its cicatrice is nearly the same in both, 

 but Orsidis, at least the type species 0. 02yposittis, differs from all the Haplo- 

 hammi in the larger and broader lower lobe of the eyes and shorter forehead, 

 characters which, being supported by some difference in the form of body and 

 thoracic spines, may justify the severance of the two genera. Some of Pascoe's 

 Orsidis, e. g. 0. sobrius, are possibly true Haplohammi; 0. sobrius is probably 

 closely allied to the Mon. fulvicornis of the same author.
