Genus AMORPHOSOMA Castelnau 
Amorphosoma marmoreus Deyrolle. 
I have determined two specimens as of this species; one from 
Mount Banahao, Luzon (Baker 8358), and the other one from 
Butuan, Mindanao (Baker 8352). 
These two specimens differ slightly in a number of ways, but 
the markings are identical and they are probably only sexes of 
the same species. Deyrolle gives this species as having a wide 
distribution in the Malaysian islands, but the specimens before 
me do not quite agree with his description in regard to the ely- 
tral tips. In his figures* he shows this species as having the 
elytral tips strongly spinose at the sutural angles, but in his 
description he gives the following: 
L’extrémité qui est tronquée, denticulée et fortement épineuse a peu 
_ de distance de la suture, cette forte épine disparaissant chez certains 
exemplaires de taille médiocre. 
The specimen from Butuan measures 11 millimeters in length, 
with the tips of the elytron slightly rounded at the angles and the 
margin evenly, strongly dentate, the lamellelike scales on elytra 
quite prominent and with six gibbosities on the pronotum; while 
the specimen from Mount Banahao measures only 8.5 milli- 
meters in length, the dentations on tips of elytron are larger and 
more separated, the lamellelike scales on elytra are not very 
prominent, and with eight gibbosities on the pronotum, two 
of which are not very prominent,
