PopiLiA INDIGONACEA, Motschiilsky, Etud. Entom. 1853, p. 47. 



A few examples only were taken, at Gensan. Kolbe records it 

 as found commonly by Dr. Gottsche on the western side of Korea. 

 Originally described from examples taken near Peking. It is scarcely 

 more than a local var. of P. ci/anea, Hope. 



POPILIA ATROC^RULEA, n. Sp. 



P. indigonaceae similis, sed convexior, elytris basi angustioribus 

 pygidioque albo - lifasciculato . Carulescenti-nigra, polita, 

 thorace toto {disco posteriore suhtilius) punctata ; elytris utrin- 

 que prope basin haud profunde rugoso-foveatis, interstitio 2do 

 basi confuse multipunctato et rugoso, versus apicem punctis 

 multo paucioribus, deinde usque ad callum humeralem striis 

 punctulatis 4 mediocriter impressis ; pygidio transversim (disco 

 posteriore sparsius^ punctulato-rugoso; processu sternali breviore 

 et obtusiore ; corpore subtus nigra, nitido. Lang. 1 1-\3 tnillim. 

 \aT. Elytris utrinque macula magna triangulari {versus apicem plus 



minusve extensa^ fulvo-castanea. 

 Gensan and Fusan ; a very large number of examples. 

 The white pubescent spots of the pygidium distinguish this species 

 from P. indiganacea and cyanea, more conspicuously than the nar- 

 rower base and more convex surface of the elytra. P. ccsridea 

 (Bohem.) of Hong Kong (recurring in Formosa in numerous colour- 

 varieties) is a much smaller insect (10| milhm.), and distinguished 

 by the very deep foveae near the base of the elytra, the mucli deeper 

 striae, and the short and almost uniseriate puncture-row of the second 

 interstice. 



Of the variety there are several examples (from Fusan) in Mr. 

 Leech's collection ; others, with the castaneous spot clearer and larger, 

 were taken by A. Adams, either in Korea or on the coast of Man- 

 cliuria a little farther north. 



Von Heyden records P. adamas, Newm., from Korea ; but this is 

 an Indian species, widely different from the above, having white 

 pubescence, partly lying in a broad groove, on the sides of the thorax. 



PoPiLiA BOGDANOwi, BalHon, Bull. Moscou, 1870, iv. p. 345. 



A small species (9-1 0| millim.), taken at Gensan ; agrees very 

 well with the above-cited description. It is closely allied and similar 

 to the Javan P. biguttata (Wiedm.), and hke that species destitute 

 of fovese near the base of the elytra. 



Adoretus tentjimaculatxjs, Waterhouse, Trans. Ent. Soc. 

 1875, p. 112. 



Gensan. Common in Japan. 



Fam. Cetoniid^. 



Glycyphana cupreola, Kraatz, Deutsch. ent. Zeitscbr. 1879, 

 p. 243 et seq. 



A series of examples from Gensan, difiFering little amongst them- 

 selves in form, colour, or sculpture, though considerably in pubescence.
