THE COLYDIID^ OF JAPAIS. 65 



and extend back nearly to the front margin of the thorax. All 

 the coxse moderately separated, the hinder pair are not yery much 

 more so than the others ; the tibige slender, without spurs, and 

 the basal joint of the hind tarsus as long as the two following 

 together. 



Labeomimus variegatus, n. sp. (Plate III. fig. 3.) 



Niger, densius squamosus, elytris variegatis, ad basin grisescentibus, 

 pone medium fascia transversa macularum albidarum parvularum, et 

 prope suturam maculis oblongis tomenti nigri; antennis pedibusque 

 squamosis. Long. 4-5 millim. 



Antennge rather stout, clothed with fuscous and a few white 

 scales, the tenth joint very strongly transverse. Head short and 

 broad, densely clothed with grisescent scales, over the antennal 

 insertion with broad, very low elevations. Thorax quite twice 

 as broad as long, the sides rounded, the front angles not greatly 

 prominent, the broad median lobe extending quite as far for- 

 wards as the angles ; the surface rather uneven, being elevated 

 along the middle, and bearing there four patches of intense black 

 squamae, two quite on the front margin, two, larger, on the disk ; 

 the surface rough and squaraose, the lateral margin covered with 

 projecting scales very closely set. Elytra at the base with some 

 grisescent scales, which on the shoulder extend backwards so as 

 to be there conspicuous, and with four patches of black tomentum ; 

 behind the middle with a row of small raised pallid spots, and 

 just in front of these, touching the suture, two small patches of 

 black raised scales ; the surface appears to be crenate-striate, 

 but the sculpture is obscured by the squamosity. 



A good series of this species was procured at Oyama; and it 

 was also met with at Kashiwagi, and in Tezo at Junsai. 



COLOBICTJS GEAIS'ULOSUS. 



Oblongus, parum convexus, rufescens, prothorace elytrisque piceis, 

 marginibus rulis; thorace elytrisque crebrius granulosis, tenuissime sub- 

 tiliter pubescentibus ; oculis longius setulosis. Long. 5^ millim. 



Thorax strongly transverse, anterior angles prominent, sides 

 explanate, lateral margin closely and distinctly serrate ; surface 

 not punctate, but covered with rather coarse granules. Elytra 

 covered with numerous granules like those of the thorax, but 

 arranged in irregular longitudinal series ; each granule bears a 

 fine, short, upright hair ; the lateral margins are also granulose.
