Megarhinus “ validirostris sp. nov. c 
Niger, nitidus, oculis planiusculis, rostro sat curvato, latitu- 
dine apicali vix duplo longiore, creberrime, basin versus paulo re- 
motius punctato, antennis funiculi articulo secundo crassitudine 
distincte longiore; prothorace crebre granuloso, in dimidia parte 
basali carinula mediana, post attenuata; scutello subquadrato- 
rotundato, margine basali concavo; elytris spatiis subgranulosis, 
parce subtilissimeque fulvo-pilosis; tibiis anticis in dimidia parte 
apicali abrupte dilatatis. 
Long. 3 mm., lat. 2. 
MINDANAO, Agusan Province, Butuan. 
The short and thick rostrum, which is more than usually 
curved and twice as long as broad at apex, and the anterior 
tibize, which are dilated in the apical half, distinguish this black 
species from the others. Second joint of funicle longer than 
thick; thorax finely rugose-granulose, one-half broader than long, 
in the basal half with a median carinula obsolete toward base; 
pygidium coarsely and densely punctate; venter plumose-squa- 
mose; tibize with strikingly coarse and dense punctures. ~ 
-Megarhinus curvipes sp. nov. 
M. carinicolli Heller affinis, sed major, oculis minus convexis, 
rostro longiore, nitido, minus dense punctato; antennis funiculi 
articulo secundo conico, crassitudine distincte longiore; protho- 
race carina mediana in dimidia parte basali distincta, granulis, 
partim transverse confluentibus obsitis, apicem versus evanes- 
centibus; elytris subrufescentibus, spatiis extrinsecus carinato- 
declivibus, subtilissime granulatis; tibiis anticis intermediisque 
curvatis, illis in triente basali intus dentatis; corpore subter 
Parce stramineo-plumoso-squamoso. 
Long. 5.5 mm., lat. 8. 
MINDANAO, Zamboanga Province, Dapitan (4513). 
Allied to M. carinicollis Heller *? except that the rostrum is less 
densely punctate, not rugose-punctate, and as long as thorax, 
and the eyes are flatter. Second joint of antennz distinctly 
longer than thick; thorax finely, partially confluently granulated, 
anterior margin nearly smooth; anterior and intermediate tibiz 
curved, the first dentate in the basal third. 
* Lacordaire remarks that this name, being preoccupied, is unavailable 
in modern usage since Saint-Fargeau had established, in 1825, a genus of 
Diptera Megarhina which, however, is synonymous with Rhamphidia.
