Mecistocerus marci Boh. 
As is known, this species was at first described as Cyamobolus 
marci Boh., from Java. In the Dresden Museum it is repre- 
sented by specimens from Batjan, Halmahera, Mysol, Australia, 
Luzon, and Mindanao. Those from the Philippine Islands were 
collected by C. F. Baker on Mount Maquiling, Luzon, and at 
Dapitan and Surigao, Mindanao. 
Mecistocerus (Rhadinomerus) granulicollis Faust? 
The typical specimen from Burma (Carin Cheba) agrees 
fairly well in plastic characters with a smaller female from 
Basilan Island which I hardly believe is identical with it, as 
the dirty brick-red color forms a short basal stripe on the 
second interval of the elytra, and the pale ring on the reddish » 
Squamose femora is wanting. 
Mecistocerus incertus Pasc. 
This species was described as a Berosiris, from Aru,** and 
I have before me some specimens from southern Celebes and 
Bangkai collected by C. Ribbe in 1882, others from Sumatra, 
and also from Mount Banahao, Luzon (4818 Baker).
