motely brown, partly whitish pustulated, each of the pustules 
bearing a short cylindric bristle, which is free around the inser- 
tion; base of rostrum with broader, roundish, patelliform scales, 
which cover three fine dorsal carinule; antennz fulvous, club 
hardly twice as long as thick; white scales of, vertex tridentate 
in front, with two brownish median spots behind; prothorax 
transverse (2: 2.5) in front, here with two tubercles, with a 
transversé row of tubercles in the middle of disk, the first two 
and the inner two of the latter nut brown; scutellum oblong, 
half elliptic; elytra broader than prothorax, not quite one and 
one-half times as long as broad (3 : 2.2) ; underside whitish, as 
are also the sides of mesosternum, metasternum, and first ster- 
nite; a band before and behind the middle on femora dark gray- 
scaled; legs with sparse, erect, whitish bristles. After the con- 
clusion of this paper I found that the intermediate coxz of this | 
species were so widely distant, that it must be transferred to 
near Colobodellus.

primo funiculi incrassato, crassitudine paulo longiore, articulis

squamulis remote seriatis spatuliformibus, squamorum convoluto

MINDANAO, Agusan Province, Butuan (4435). 
A pretty, white-scaled species, sparsely set with short, thick, 
cylindric sete, with two indistinct brownish medial and one 
lateral stripe in basal half of thorax, a black-scaled scutellum, 
a large, arcuate, middle band, and apical third of elytra blackish. 
Rostrum dark reddish brown, rugulose, slightly enlarged toward 
apex, with three dorsal carinulz in basal half, the median ab- 
“This new subgenus differs from Ocoblodes chiefly by the six-jointed 
funicle of the antenne. *
