curved at the sides, the front angles scarely produced, but the 

 sides distinctly narrowed towards them ; the lateral margin very- 

 fine, irregular, its outline being apparently broken by the coarse 

 punctures ; the whole surface covered with very large, mode- 

 rately deep punctures, placed so close together that the inter- 

 stices are narrow and tbread-like. Elytra closely covered with 

 series of coarse punctures, tke punctures occupying a larger 

 space than do the interstices. 



Subashiri, 4th. May, 1880, and Oyayama. One example from 

 each locality. 



ECTOMICKirS PUEENS, U. sp. 



Rufo-castaneus, nitidus, pube laxa parce vestitus ; prothorace traris- 

 versim quadrato, sat crebre subtiliter punctato ; elytris seriatim punctatis, 

 punctis apicem versus obsoletescentibus. Long. 2^ niilhra. 



Eirst joint of antenna very broad, behind flattened so as to 

 have a quadrate appearance ; second joint slender, third short but 

 distinctly longer than the minute joints following it. Head 

 rather broad, though much narrower than the thorax, only very 

 sparingly punctured. Thorax quite as broad as the elytra, very 

 slightly curved at the sides, except at the front angles, where the 

 curvature is more distinct; the lateral mai-gin very distinct, obso- 

 letely crenate ; the surface somewhat sparingly punctate. Scu- 

 tellum broad. Elytra short, with series of punctures that are 

 rather coarse at the base, but become obsolete at the apex; the 

 suture depressed behind, and furnished with a fine stria which 

 disappears by passing gradually into the first series of punctures. 



This species has been met M'ith in a few examples only both 

 on Kiushiu and the main island : Hitoyoshi, Oyayama, Yuyama, 

 and Miyanoshita. 



Ceetlok ceassipes, n. sp. 



Oblongum, ferrugineum, nitidum ; prothorace subquadrato, basin versus 

 angustato, fortiter punctato ; elytris striatis, striis apicem versus obsoletis. 

 Long. 2 millim. 



Antennae stout. Thorax about as long as broad, the sides 

 straight biit distinctly narrowed behind, the hind angles rect- 

 angular ; the surface rather coarsely and closely punctate, the 

 base a little elevated in the middle. Elytra with rather deep 

 striae, which become obsolete at the extremity ; the interstices 

 almost impunctate. Tibiae very stout. 



Although similar to C. angustatum and to C. deplanatum, this is
