Show 372 MR. H. W . BATES O N [June 19, ONTHOPHAGUS SOLIVAGUS, Von Heyden, Deutsch. ent. Zeits. 1886, p. 290. Von Heyden described the male only, from Peking. Mr. Leech's two examples, females, agree very well with the description, but they are smaller (8| millim., Von Heyden gives 10 millim.) ; the head has two sharply raised and slightly arcuated carinas; in the male the occiput has a short horn. ONTHOPHAGUS ? A single example ; indeterminable. ONITICELLUS PHAN-EOIDES, Westwood, in Royle's Himalaya, Entom. p. 55, t. 9. f. 3. The Korean differs from the Japanese form in the transverse posterior ridge of the thorax, in fully-developed males, being depressed and crossed by a groove. In this feature they approach the North-Indian type-form more nearly than does the Japanese variety, in which the elevation described is triangularly elevated in the middle. Fam. APHODIID_E. APHODIUS APICALIS, Harold, Berl. ent. Zeits. 1861, p. 96. Found also, widely distributed, in Japan. APHODIUS SORDIDUS, Fabr. Syst. Ent. i. p. 16. A species distributed throughout the entire Palaearctic region from Western Europe (including Britain) to Manchuria and North-eastern China, and extending to Japan, according to Waterhouse, in the variety 4-punctatus. Korean examples do not differ from West- European specimens with which I have compared them. APHODIUS UROSTIGMA, Harold, Berl. ent. Zeits. 1862, p. 170 ; id. Mittheil. Miinch. 1880, p. 156. Found also in Java, Ceylon, and Annam. From the last-named locality M . Fleutiaux has sent me a series of specimens under the name of A. pallidicornis (Walker), but they agree better with A. urostigma as defined by Von Harold. The pygidium is uncovered and clothed with hairs, a peculiarity not noticed by the describer. Fam. MELOLONTHID-E. HOPLIA RUFIPES, Motschulsky, in Schrenck's Reise, p. 133, t. 9. f. 4 ; Kraatz, Deutsch. ent. Zeits. 1879, p. 232. A large series of examples taken at Gensan, nearly all obscure and uniform in the colour of the scales of the upper surface. The species occurs also on the Amur, and I have examples from the coast of Manchuria. SERICA HERZI, V. Heyden, Hor. Soc. Ent. Rossicse, xxi. (1887), p. 264. Two examples taken at Fusan. |
