founil, some showing more or less tendency to becoming four-spotted, 

 but only two or three definitely four-spotted varieties. Sexual 

 distinction not Apparent. 



3. Cyanauges auADRA, n. sp. (Plate LIII. fig. 8.) 



Ni<jer, nitidus, elytris latius ovatis, singulis maculis duabus ornatis, 

 una humeraii, una subapicaU, flavis. Long. 5 miliim. 



Uab. Main Island : Kashiwagi. 



Black, elytra each with two orange-yellow spots, one on the 

 shoulder, and one larger and transverse near the apex. Head and 

 thorax inipunctate, the latter narrow, basal sulci distinct and deep, 

 a little arcuate and siaiple {i. e. not bisulcate at the base), the sides 

 narrowing from the base and sinuous, front margin between the 

 angles nearly straight. Elytra thickly but quite distinctly punctu- 

 late ; their widest part is below the middle; apex broadly rounded. 

 The antennae have their fourth and subsequent joints short, but not 

 transverse, the third nearly equal to the fourth and fifth taken 

 together. 



A s.ingle specimen. 



4. Cyanauges nigropiceus, n. sp. (Plate LIII. fig. 7.) 



Niger ; ore, elytris, pedibus et corpore sublus saturate nigro-piceis, 

 abdominis apice ditutius piceo. Long. 4 miliim. 



Hab. Main Island : Kashiwagi. 



Vervlike C. yorhami; compared with which it is a rather shorter and 

 broader insect, and without any of the blue tinge which characteiizes 

 that species. The thorax is twice as wide as long, very smooth, the 

 disk rather convex, the basal sulci distinct and half the length of 

 the disk, quite as in C. yorhami, except that itis wider and altogether 

 rather larger. Elytra punctured, but rather faintly so, black, but 

 v\ith a pitchy tinge, less ovate and more broadly rounded behind 

 than in C. gorhami. Antennoe with joint 4 very little shorter than 

 3 ; 5-8 longer than wide but gradually shorter. Abdomen becoming 

 gradually lighter in colour from the base to the apex. 



Three specimens. 



CuoNDRiA, n. gen. 



Tarsi quadriarticulati, hand lobati. Prosternum jprocessu inler- 

 coxali anyufto, lanceolato, marginato. Pronvtum late muryinatum 

 ut in gencre Stenotarso, maryine deplanato concavo, limbo 

 crenulato. Antennis articulo noiio et decimo suhquadratis 

 cequaliter lutis, ultimo ohlongo, apice acuminata. 

 This new name is proposed for a genus of the family Endomy- 

 chidse, allied on one hand to Stenotarsus by the broad flat margin 

 of the thorax, but more closely, in general structure, especially by 

 that of the tarsi, to Symbiotes. The tarsi are quite simple, i. e. with- 

 out a long biloLed second joint as in Stenotarsus. The prosternum 

 entirely agrees with th it of Symbiotes. Of the tiophi 1 caimot 

 speak particularly, there being only two specimens of the single
