COLEOPTERA NEW TO THE FAUXA OF JAPAN". 15 J 



Aphodius diversus, Waterh., 1875 = A. solskyi. Har., 1S71 ; 

 A. rectus, Motsch., 1866. 



Euchlora nwngolica, Falderm, 1835. — This species occurs at 

 Niigata, and in some of the north-west provinces. 



Podabrus reinii, Heyden=P. heydeni, Kiesw. 1879. 



Anomala holosericea, F.— I found a single example near Chiu- 

 zengi, and three others in S. Yezo. 



Cryptodactylus gracilis, Schon., 1888 = C. auriceps, Saund., 

 1873. — Herr Schonfeldt gives the locality for this species as 

 Ai'ima, near Kobe. My original specimen was taken on Maiyasan, 

 and in 1881 I swept two more fi-om a shady bank between Kobe 

 and Kioto ; so up to the present time it seems to be a very local 

 species. 



Laius flaricornis, Kiesenw. =L. kiesenwetteri. — ^Kiesenwetter's 

 name is occupied by Fabricius for a Javan species. 



Opatrum villigerum, Blanch. Toy. Pole Sud. iv. p. 154, t. 10, 

 f. 15. — I have three examples from Kobe. This species was 

 originally described from specimens fi'om Australia. 



Phaleria riederi, Faldermann. Plialeria hilgendorfi, Harold, 

 1878 Emypsara adamsi, Pasc, and E.fiexuosa, Pasc. 1866^Dux- 

 peris riederi, Fald. 1833. — This is an apterous species. I took 

 a dozen examples on the sand-hills between Hakodate and Nanai 

 in August, 1880. Pascoe described two varieties as species. 

 The elytra are sometimes wholly black, sometimes entirely pale ; 

 but the intermediate or variegated form figured by Faldermann, 

 is the most frequent kind. The species is certainly congeneric 

 "with Phaleria ornata, WolL, and P. cadaverina, F. ; all have a 

 similarly large head with small eyes, and a narrow transverse 

 metasternum. The 2nd and 3rd tarsal joints are dilated in the 

 male, and are not generic characters as indicated for Emypsara. 



Platydema dejeanii, Cast. — Occurs at Xikko, Sendai, and 

 Sapporo, and is not uncommon. This European species is also 

 known from Siberia. 



Platydema musiva, Harold, 1S~8 = P. iiigroceneum, Motsch., 

 1860. — Harold described the female ; Motschulsky knew the 

 male and perhaps the female also. 



Alphitophagus japanus. Mars. — I have taken this species 

 abundantly iu Ceylon. There are Ceylonese specimens in the 

 British Museum named by F. Walker, but priority cannot be 

 claimed for his name. 



Uloma latimanus, Kolbe, 1886. — This species seems to take 

 the place of U. honzica. Mars., in the northern parts of Japan. 

 I have taken it abundantly at Nikko, and also at Sapporo. It 

 occurs under fir-bark, and there is a pale variety of it which is 

 small in stature, and corresponds to one noticed in U. honzica by 

 Marseul. 



Toxicum umhi-atum, Harold, 1881 = T. d-cornutiim, Water., 

 187-1. — Harold knew the female oniv.
