The underlined figures indicate the country whose species the 

 Japanese forms most closely resemble. Thus in Clirysocliroa the 

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

 In Agrilus 5 species are of European facies and 6 of Indian. 



It appears that 13 out of the 14 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 

 have created a new genus, "ParatracJiys" The species previously 

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

 the collection complete.
