L. 6-6| mill. This species closely resembles S. bt^evicornis in facies and surface-sculpture, but the head is less robust, the antenna3 are as large again, the thorax is more convex on the disk, distinctly emarginate before the hind angle, arched in front of the emargination, and without any anterior angle ; the scutellum is nearly one third longer tiian wide; the antennas are pale at the base, with the club dark. One example is reddish brown, with the head between the eyes, two blotches on the thorax, and the elytral, sutural, and outer margins dusky with an ajneous tinge. Hab. Hitoyoshi, Konose, and Yuyama. Four examples. ASERICA, gen. nov. This generic name is proposed for a considerable number of species hitherto included in Serica. It differs essentially from Serica in having smaller eyes, the scutellum wide at the base, the hind femora considerably widened and truncate at Tiff. the apices, posterior tibige also dilated, tarsi more robust, and the intermediate coxee widely separated. The antennaB are 3-foliate, and the other characters resemble those of Please note that these images are extracted from scanned page images that may have been digitally enhanced for readability - coloration and appearance of these illustrations may not perfectly resemble the original London, Taylor and Francis, Ltd
