middle; sides very slightly rounded, converging anteriorly ; elytra 
at base not broader than base of prothorax, in the first sixth 
somewhat broader, from there to apex attenuate; intervals 
hardly convex, the suture slightly so, beset with granules as on 
thorax, but each bearing one posteriorly inserted bristle and 
placed here ‘and there upon irregular transverse wrinkles; legs 
sparsely, the anterior more densely, covered with white scale 
bristles, which on the femora arise from coarse, flat punctures, 
these being seriate on the tibize; hind femora exceeding, by their 
apical third, apex of the elytra. 
One of the Baguio specimens differs only by a sharp median 
carina on the posterior portion of that part of the mesosternum 
which forms the end of the rostral canal. This may be a sec- 
ondary sexual character. 
Tragopus ornaticollis sp. nov. Plate 3, fig. 5. 
Niger, opacus, prothorace vitta mediana elytrisque parce sa- 
turate ferrugineo-, vitta prothoracali submarginali, utrinque in 
medio subcruciforme dilata cremea-, plaga in dimidia parte ba- 
sali intra vittam nigro-tomentosis; prothorace linea mediana 
tenui, nigro-denudata, ad basin longitudine perpaulo latiore, 
lateribus in dimidia parte basali fere parallelis, antrorsum forti- 
ter convergentibus; elytris similiter, ut in praecedenti, sed minus 
convexe granuloso tuberculatis, apice minus declivi, ‘sutura in 
medio tuberculo circulari granuloso, altero minore, in declivi-

Dull black; antenne dark ferruginous; a broad median and 
two sublateral stripes on prothorax, the latter feebly cross- 
shaped for half its length, dilated, creamy white with a quadrate 
spot inside of it, basal half of prothorax velvet black; elytra 
covered with scattered, fine, ferruginous tomentum, denser on 
the granulate callosities; second joint of funicle as long as the 
three following together, club not quite twice as long as thick 
(10 : 6); thorax a little broader than long (3.8 : 3.5), median 
line smooth, with a furrow on each side before the middle, disk 
with a few shining granules; elytra with similar callosities but 
less convex and ferruginous-setose-granulate than in T. vitti- 
collis, the apical declivity less sloping ; suture before the declivity 
with a larger, round granule, a smaller one in connection with 
and behind it.
