rius Pasc., from Batjan. From this and from another species 
from Borneo, the Philippine species differs chiefly by the squa- 
mation. Its ground color is dark reddish brown, the upper side 
covered with fawn-colored scales, the underside with sparse, 
reddish white scales; prothorax with a whitish cross-shaped or 
sagittate marking on the disk, limited along each side by a brown 
stripe; elytra with a whitish band, running from shoulder to 
middle of suture, first interval before and behind the middle, 
and fourth interval at base, with a short blackish brown streak, 
and like the others with erect, oblong, white scales, condensed 
on: first interval, behind the postmedian dark streak, to a white 
stripe; antenne reddish yellow, scape hardly reaching anterior 
margin of eye, second joint of funicle as long as the thickened 
first and half as long as the third; frons coarsely and densely 
punctured with a small brown dot between the eyes; prothorax 
transverse (5:8), the base somewhat the broadest, coarsely 
and very closely punctured, and with large scales; scutellum 
rhomboidal, sparingly and minutely scaled; elytra broader and 
more densely squamose than thorax, punctate, striate, fifth and 
sixth stric impressed at base, the punctures of strie rather close- 
ly seriate and each filled by an oblong, adpressed, whitish scale ; 
the fawn-colored and whitish scales of intervals roundish, the 
erect brown and seriate white scales oblong-triangular; fourth 
and sixth intervals convex on base; hind femora not extending 
beyond fourth sternite, tibiee broadest at base, gradually attenu- 
ate toward apex, the fine longitudinal carinze mostly covered by 
the scales.
