19, 5 Heller: New Philippine Coleoptera 585 
LUZON, Mount Banahao. 
Because of the brevity of the description of Ceresiwm imite 
Newm. this new species might easily be taken for that species, 
but it shows neither the bare tubercles on the thorax nor the 
unicolored legs with the knees strikingly black. In common 
with the genus Salpinia, it has a short frons and a long, nearly 
cylindric thorax, while in the form of antenne it agrees with 
Ceresium. Cerestum geniculatum is light yellowish brown as 
is Axinopalpus gracilis; the elytra toward the apex are longer 
and finely golden yellow pubescent; the apices of femora and 
basal third of tibize are black. Frons between insertion of 
antenne transverse, with a median furrow extending neither 
cephalad nor caudad of eyes; profile of frons slightly obtuse an- 
’ gulate, posterior part longer than the anterior; thorax uneven, 
impunctate, finely tomentose, front margin smooth, basal mar- 
gin finely carinate, disk with an indistinct oblong callosity; 
base of elytra with an interhumeral, longitudinal impression, 
scarcely seriate-punctate, obsolete toward the apex; underside 
nearly smooth; hind femora strongly clavate, apex extending 
somewhat beyond third sternite; first joint of hind tarsi a little 
shorter than the two following together.

The single species of this genus hitherto described, Z. cinc- 
ticornis Pasc., I know only from the description and the figure 
given by Pascoe.® The new Philippine species is broader and 
more robust, and the first joint of antenne bears a longitudinal
