510 Mil. E. SAUNDERS ON SOME 



Tho underlined figures indicate the country wliose species tlie 

 Japanese forms most closely resemble. Qlms in Chrysocliroa tlic 

 species found in Japan is allied to the Indian and Chinese species. 

 In Agrilus 5 species are of European facies and C of Indian. 



It appears that 13 out of the LI genera exist also in India, 7 in 

 Africa, 9 in Europe, 6 in America, 5 in the Philippines, and 4 in 

 China, 



In all, I have described 34 new species, for one of which I 

 haye created a new genus, ^'JParatrachys.''^ The species previously 

 characterized are merely noted for the sake of making the list of 

 the collection complete.
