﻿Coleoptera 
  of 
  Japan.

  which 
  our 
  well-known 
  European 
  species 
  has 
  been 
  long 
  

   distinguished. 
  

  

  Anthribus 
  daimio, 
  n. 
  sp. 
  

  

  Elongato-oblongus, 
  niger 
  brunneo 
  albidoque 
  variegatus, 
  elytris 
  

   dorso 
  apiceque 
  late 
  albidis. 
  Long, 
  rostro 
  porrecto 
  10 
  — 
  12 
  mm. 
  

  

  Closely 
  allied 
  to 
  A. 
  alhinus, 
  but 
  rather 
  larger 
  and 
  more 
  elongate, 
  

   and 
  with 
  a 
  much 
  greater 
  extent 
  of 
  white 
  colour 
  on 
  the 
  front 
  of 
  the 
  

   thorax 
  and 
  on 
  the 
  middle 
  of 
  the 
  elytra. 
  The 
  rostrum 
  and 
  head 
  

   are 
  covered 
  with 
  white 
  tomentum, 
  and 
  there 
  is 
  much 
  of 
  this 
  colour 
  

   on 
  the 
  anterior 
  parts 
  of 
  the 
  thorax 
  ; 
  there 
  are 
  three 
  small 
  brown 
  

   tufts 
  on 
  the 
  disc 
  of 
  the 
  thorax, 
  and 
  the 
  middle 
  one 
  is 
  tipped 
  with 
  

   black. 
  In 
  front 
  of 
  the 
  middle 
  of 
  the 
  wing-cases 
  there 
  is 
  a 
  large 
  

   white 
  common 
  patch, 
  and 
  the 
  extremity 
  is 
  broadly 
  white 
  ; 
  there 
  

   are 
  four 
  small 
  black 
  tufts 
  in 
  a 
  line 
  on 
  each 
  elytron. 
  The 
  legs 
  and 
  

   antennae 
  are 
  black, 
  variegated 
  with 
  white 
  ; 
  the 
  club 
  of 
  the 
  latter 
  in 
  

   the 
  male 
  is 
  very 
  long 
  and 
  acuminate.

  Mr. 
  Lewis 
  has 
  found 
  only 
  one 
  example 
  of 
  this 
  insect 
  ; 
  

   though 
  it 
  is 
  in 
  very 
  mutilated 
  condition, 
  having 
  lost 
  its 
  

   antennae, 
  it 
  apparently 
  agrees 
  with 
  Walker's 
  species 
  

   described 
  from 
  Ceylon. 
  It 
  may 
  be 
  distinguished 
  from 
  

   all 
  the 
  rest 
  of 
  our 
  Anthribidce 
  by 
  the 
  remarkably 
  great 
  

   dilatation 
  of 
  the 
  third 
  tarsal 
  joint 
  on 
  all 
  the 
  feet.

  A 
  small 
  series 
  of 
  this 
  species 
  was 
  found 
  on 
  Rhus 
  

   succedanea 
  near 
  Nagasaki 
  during 
  Mr. 
  Lewis' 
  first 
  visit 
  to 
  

   Japan.

  persimilis,

   utroque

  Although 
  this 
  insect 
  is 
  only 
  half 
  the 
  size 
  of 
  P. 
  varie- 
  

   gatus, 
  the 
  two 
  are 
  otherwise 
  so 
  similar
