LuzON, Mount Banahao (4517). 
Allied to M. nigrostriatus Chevr. and ingenuus Faust but 
easily distinguished by the white markings of the chiefly blackish- 
scaled upper side, consisting of a sublateral stripe on thorax, 
interrupted before the middle, and a spot on each shoulder and 
on apical callus of elytra and on dorsum of femora, before 
apex. The thorax shows a central carinula and.a very coarse 
and dense punctation, the elytra a row of remote luteous scale 
@ 
. bristles on the intervals, the femora at base are strongly com- 
pressed, the tibize at base and apical half white scaled; punctures 
of first sternite much sparser and finer than those of meta- 
sternum.

Niger, antennis tarsisque subrufis, corpore parce minuteque, 
elytris spatio secundo ad basin densius albido-setoso-squamosis, 
prothorace sat convexo, transverso, maxima latitudine in medio, 
fortiter crebreque punctato, carinula mediana levi; elytris lati- 
tudine sesqui longioribus, punctato-substriatis, striis solum in 
parte apicali, tribus extremis totis distinctius impressis, punctis 
ipsorum diametro distantibus, spatiis striis latioribus planius- 
culis (spatio secundo ad basin subconvexo) ut sutura remote 
seriato-subgranulatis, fuliginoso et albido-variegato-squamosis ; 
femoribus sat fortiter punctatis ut corpore subter parce minu- 
teque posticorum dente densius, albo-squamosis, tibiis setis erec- 
tis, remote seriatis.

LUZON, Mountain Province, Baguio (5904). . 
Because of the slightly thickened femora and the basally 
impressed profile line of rostrum, this species might be placed 
in Rhadinomerus Faust, which I believe to be.only a subgenus.” 
Body black, very sparsely whitish, the elytra nut brown and 
white squamose marbled; antennz and tarsi dark reddish 
brown, second joint of funicle somewhat longer than the thick- 
ened first, the four following longer than thick, seventh spheric, 
club cylindric, twice as long as thick; rostrum on each side of base 
carinated and, like the head, coarsely punctate; thorax one and 
one-sixth times broader than long, broadest in the middle, longi- 
tudinally rather convex, coarsely and densely punctate, anterior 
margin finely so, the punctures with a small white scale within;
