Show 1888.] COLEOPTERA FROM KOREA. 379 CALLICHROMA BUNGII, Falderm. Mem. Ac. Petrop. 1835, ii. p. 433, t. 5. f. 5. A species, in its typical form with red thorax, confined to Northern China, Mongolia, and countries to the north and east. It has not been recorded from Japan. In Southern China a local var., entirely black, is found. POLYZONUS FASCIATUS, Fabr. Sp. Ins. i. p. 232. Nearly the same range as the preceding. CLYTUS CAPRA, Germar, Ins. Sp. Nov. p. 518. Spread throughout the Palaearctic region from Western Europe through Siberia, but apparently not extending to Japan. CLYTANTHUS PLEBEJUS, Fabr. Sp. Ins. i. p. 243. Same range as the preceding. Fam. LAMiiDiE. LAMIOMIMUS GOTTSCHEI, Kolbe, Archiv f. Naturgesch. 1886, p. 224, t. xi. fig. 39. A genus, so far as at present known, peculiar to Korea. Judging from the description Lamia adelpha, Ganglbauer (Hor. Soc. Ent. Ross, xx.), published about the same time as Kolbe's, is probably the female. LAMIA TEXTOR, Linn. Syst. Nat. ed. x. p. 392. Found from Western Europe through Siberia to the Pacific ; but not yet recorded from Japan. ANOPLOPHORA (MELANAUSTER) CHINENSIS, Forster, Nov. Spec. Ins. 1771, p. 39. A common and well-known Chinese species, found also in Japan. The genus Melanauster agrees with Anoplophora in all essential points of structure and the style of markings is fundamentally the same ; the only difference is the distinctly-formed tubercular prominence on the mesosternum in Melanauster, which in Anoplophora exists only in a rudimentary state as a slight elevation. MESOSA MYOPS, Dalm. in Schonh. Syn. Ins. i. 3, App. p. 168. A widely distributed Palaearctic species, ranging from Finland through Siberia to the Pacific coast. It appears to be represented in Japan by M. japonica (Bates), and the single Korean example seems by its tawny yellow markings to hein some degree intermediate between the two. MESOSA HIRSUTA, Bates, Journ. Linn. Soc, Zool. xviii. p. 244. A very distinct species, known at present only from Japan and Korea. |
