Niohosan, and on the highest altitudes above Nikko, in places where the snow remains in shady spots until the beginning of June. ISTEISIA, gen. nov. This genus has most of the characteristics of Salpinqns. The chief differences are : ten joints of the antennge monili- form, basal joint nearly as large again as the second ; 2-7 almost similar, 8-9 thicker and larger than the basal joint, terminal largest and conical; maxillary palpi, 2 basal joints short, third moniliform, terminal longer but not wider; the legs and tarsi are formed like those in Salpingus. The thorax is gradually narrowed at the sides from behind the anterior angle; the elytra not striate. Having only one example, I give an outline of the body, and an enlarged drawing of the palpi (fig. 1). Fig. Istrisia rufohrunnea, sp. n. Elongata, subdepressa, parallela, brunnea, punctata, iiitida ; tho- race basi angustiore; elytris punctatis, baud striatis ; antennis pedibusque concoloribus. L. 5 mill. Elongate, parallel, very slightly convex, brown, shining; the head rather wide, carinate at the sides from the anterior.
