marts, the largest of which is a large mark surrounding tlie 

 scutellum ; the black colour descends backwards along the suture, 

 and connects two waved transverse marks, which, in a more or 

 less indistinct manner, tend to be connected with, the side margin 

 by more pallid prolongations ; their sculpture is indistinct, but 

 they bear series of short white setae. 



This is very similar in size and shape to G. variegatus ; but the 

 thorax is more truncate in front and at the sides, the eyes 

 are more globular, and the club of the antenna is twice as large. 



Three examples were found : Nikko, Oct, 1880, and Wada- 

 toge. 



ClCONES OBLONGUS, U. sp. 



Oblongus, fuscus; antennis pedibusque rufis, his femoribus obscuris, 

 elytris testaceis, fusco-signatis. Long. 3| millim. 



This is closely allied to C oculatus, but is of more elongate 

 form, has the eyes a little less prominent, the front angles of the 

 thorax more prominent, and the femora darker. It is equally 

 close to the European G. pictus, Er. ; but has the eyes a little 

 more prominent, and on the underside of the head larger, the 

 club of the antenna a little larger, and the surface of the thorax 

 less uneven, wdth the sides less dilated. 



Sapporo ; two specimens. 



CicoNES NivEtrs, n. sp. 



Breviter ovalis, antennis elytrisque testaceo-ferrugineis, his phis minusve 

 nigro-guttatis, pedibus fusco-rufis, brevibus ; corpore superne magis con- 

 spicue albido-setoso. Long. 2 raillim. 



The individuals are much smaller than those of G. variegatus, 

 and have short antennae and legs ; the head is small, with the 

 eyes only moderately large but prominent. The thorax is rather 

 strongly transverse, with the sides but little rounded, and the 

 front angles only slightly prominent ; the surface is a little 

 uneven and clothed with coarser and finer white setae ; these at 

 the lateral margin are closely set, and so form a narrow con- 

 tinuous white border. Elytra with isolated black marks, placed 

 as much at the sides as at the suture, the suture not black ; the 

 white setae conspicuous, and with a few rather coarser ones 

 placed in a serial manner amongst the rest. 



Kashiwagi, 16th June ; Chiuzenji, 22nd Aug. 1881 ; one 

 example from each locality.
