anteriorly, intervals sparsely, coarsely punctate, with a patch 
of white pubescence along lateral margin behind clypeus. 
Clypeus slightly wider than long, front margin truncate, with 
a sharp tooth at each anterior angle. Pronotum twice as wide 
as long, not narrower at base than apex; sides strongly arcuate 
in front, obliquely narrowed behind; lateral margin straight; hind 
angles rectangular, without trace of a carina; disk moderately 
convex, without lateral or median depressions; surface coarsely, 
closely, transversely strigose, the intervals between the strigz 
sparsely and finely punctate. Scutellum wide, transversely car- : 
inate. Elytra with a slight posthumeral sinuation, behind which 
there is a slight dilatation, then strongly, obliquely narrowed 
to the apices, which are conjointly rounded and feebly serrulate, 
sides of abdomen exposed above; disk convex, without distinct 
coste, the sutural edge elevated at apical third; humeri moder- 
ately prominent, not carinate; basal depressions almost obliter- 
ated ; surface shining, coarsely and closely, imbricately granulate, 
coarser near the base, sparsely clothed with short, inconspicuous, 
recumbent hairs which do not conceal the surface sculpture. 
Body beneath usually more greenish than above; prosternum 
coarsely and densely scabrous, opaque and sparsely pubescent; 
prosternal lobe broad, deeply and rather acutely emarginate at 
middle; intercoxal process broad, sides parallel, abruptly nar- 
rowed at apex; propleura coarsely punctate, slightly strigose 
and sparsely pubescent; metasternum strigose and with fine 
punctures along the edge of the strige. Abdomen sparsely and 
finely punctate, becoming feebly strigose at side, sparsely pu- 
bescent; first ventral segment convex, not impressed nor con- 
spicuously pubescent; last ventral truncate and feebly emarginate 
at apex; vertical portions not conspicuously pubescent; pygidium 
punctate, feebly carinate, the carina not projecting at apex. 
Hind tarsi very short, one-fourth as long as the tibiz, first joint 
about equal in length to the two following joints united; ante- 
rior tibiz feebly arcuate, the middle and posterior tibie simple, 
not mucronate; posterior femora very robust, resembling species 
of the chrysomelid genus Altica; claws similar on all tarsi, 
strongly cleft, the lower portion incurved, but with the tips 
quite distant. 
Length, 5.5 millimeters; width, 1.9. 
Described from four specimens, probably all males. The type 
18 from Davao, Mindanao (Baker 8366). Paratypes are 
from Davao and Zamboanga, Mindanao; and from Malinao, 
Tayabas Province, Luzon; all specimens collected by C. F. Baker.
