the claws. Tlie legs and tarsi are remarkably sliort. I am tm- 

 willing to found a new genus on a single example of doubtful 

 sex, in such a group as the Saperdince. 



The genus Paraglenea was imperfectly defined by me in Proc. 

 Zool. Soc. 1866, p. 352, and has not been adopted by entomologists. 

 It is, however, sufficiently distinct from Glenea in the toothed 

 claws in both sexes (the tooth being generally very short) and 

 in the equal length of the first four ventral segments.

 Japan. 



I have not seen anything resembling this species in Mr. Lewis's 

 or other collections. 



Sestgalia RTJEESCEiirs, n. sp. 



Testaceo-rufa, antennis elytrisque fusco-rufis ; thorace antice 

 valde gibboso aspere punctato, elytris creberrime subconfluenter 

 punctulatis, apice utrinque in spinam productis, obsolete costu- 

 latis. Long. 14 millim. 



Nagasaki. 



Differs from 8. spinipennis (Lac), from Ceylon, in the uniform 

 colour of the elytra. In their peculiar structure the two species, 

 judging from Lacordaire's description, perfectly agree. 



Stenostola aegteosticta, n. sp. 



Nigra, nitida, erecte pilosa, thorace linea laterali elytrisque 

 maculis utrinque quinque (prima parva basali, secunda paullo 

 posteriori parva oblonga, tertia majori ovata mediaua, quarta 

 ovata paullo obliqua longe post medium, quinta parva apicali) 

 argenteo-viridi-tomentosis. Capite crebre punctato, infra oculos 

 viridi-argenteo ; thorace parvo, cylindrico, basi subconstricto, 

 crebre punctato ; elytris discrete punctatis, apices versus laevibus ; 

 pectore argenteo-viridi vittato ; antennis nigris ; pedibus gracili- 

 bus nigris ; tarsis posticis argenteo-viridibus, unguibus basi latis- 

 sime dentatis. Long. 12 millim. 



Chiuzenji. 



Agrees with Stenostola nigripes in form and structure, but 

 differs in the claws being toothed like Oherea. 



The species seems to approach Solsky's genus Eumecocera, 

 founded on a Siberian species with uniform silvery-green ad- 

 pressed pubescence on the elytra; but it has not the fine 

 " setiform " antennse attributed to Etomecocera, these organs in 

 ^. argyrosticta being very similar to those of 8. nigripes.
