1888.] COLEOPTERA FROM KOREA. 379 



Callichroma bungii, Falderm. Mem. Ac. Petrop. 1835, ii. 

 p. 433, t. .5. f. 5. 



A species, in its typical form with red thorax, confined to Northern 

 China, Mongolia, and countries to the north and east. It has not been 

 recorded from Japan. In Southern China a local var., entirely black, 

 is found. 



PoLYZONTJS fasciatus, Fabr. Sp. Ins. i. p. 'J32. 



Nearly the same range as the preceding. . . 



Clytus capra, Germar, Ins. Sp. Nov. p. 518. 



Spread throughout the Palaearctic region from Western Europe 

 througli Siberia, but apparently not extending to Japan. 



Clytanthtjs plebejus, Fabr. Sp. Ins. i. p. 243. 



Same range as the preceding. 



Fam. Lamiid^. 



Lamiomimus gottschei, Kolbe, Archiv f. Naturgesch. 1886, 

 p. 224, t. xi. fig. 3!). 



A genus, so far as at present known, peculiar to Korea. Judging 

 from the description Lamia adeiphn, Ganglbauer (Hor. Soc. Ent. 

 Ross, xx.), published about the same time as Kolbe's, is probably 

 the female. 



Lamia textor, Linn. Syst. Nat. ed. x. p. 392. 



Found from Western Europe through Siberia to the Pacific ; but 

 not yet recorded from Japan. 



Anoplophora (Melanauster) chinensis, Forster, Nov. Spec, 

 Ins. 1771, p. 39. 



A common and well-known Chinese species, found also in Japan. 



The genus Melanauster agrees with Anoplophora in all essential 

 points of structure and the style of markings is fundamentally the 

 same ; the only difference is the distinctly-formed tubercular pro- 

 minence on the mesosternum in Melanauster, which in Anoplophora 

 exists only in a rudimentary state as a slight elevation. 



Mesosa myops, Dalm. in Schonh. Syn. Ins. i. 3, App. p. 168. 



A widely distributed Palaearctic species, ranging from Finland 

 through Siberia to the Pacific coast. It appears to be represented 

 In Japan by M. japonica (Bates), and the single Korean example 

 seems by its tawny yellow markings to be in some degree intermediate 

 between the two. 



Mesosa hirsuta, Bates, Jouru. Linn. Soc, Zool. xviii. p. 244. 



A very distinct species, known at present only from Japan and 

 Korea.
