sides obliquely arcuate; base bisinuate, with a broadly rounded 
median lobe in front of the scutellum. Scutellum small, tri- 
angular. Elytra as wide as pronotum at base, obliquely sinuate 
to posterior cox, then strongly attenuate to near tips, which are 
conjointly, broadly rounded; humeri not prominent; surface with 
an arcuate lateral carina, reaching from near the humerus to 
just in front of the apical margin, finely punctate and rather 
strongly rugose, with a shallow depression along the base and a 
similar one along lateral margin behind the humerus, rather 
sparsely clothed with pale and golden yellow pubescence, the 
pale hairs forming three inconspicuous, transverse, somewhat 
irregular designs as follows: The first near middle, the second at 
apical third, and the third one near the apex. Beneath convex; 
abdomen densely marked with semicircular lines, in the middle 
of which is a small puncture, intervals distinctly granulose and 
with a few indistinct white hairs; prosternum divided into 
two parts, the anterior part flat, with the front margin distinctly 
margined and a transverse costa near and parallel to it; inter- 
coxal process transverse, flat, narrower in front than behind, 
sides margined, apex truncate, with the angles rounded; meso- 
sternum with the anterior margin truncate; tarsi and claws 
black; tarsal lamelle dark brown. 
Length, 3 millimeters; width, 1.75. 
One specimen from Mount Maquiling, Luzon (Baker 8338). 
Trachys cuneiformis sp. nov. 
Cuneiform, slightly convex, very much enlarged anteriorly, 
head, pronotum, suture, and posterior third of elytra bronzy, 
anterior two-thirds of elytra, except suture, dark blue, with a 
violaceous reflection, pubescent; beneath black, with a metallic 
reflection. 
Head with the front deeply concave between the eyes, median 
longitudinal groove slightly marked from occiput to near middle; 
surface with a deep, round puncture in front of suture near base 
of antenne, sparsely marked with indistinct circles, from 
which arises a short, yellow, recumbent hair, the circles denser 
on the occiput and near frontal suture; eyes very strongly 
margined on the inner side; epistoma wide, finely, transversely 
strigose, anterior margin truncate, the anterior angles acute and 
extending around base of antennz, which are widely separated ; 
clypeal suture distinct, truncate. Pronotum short, three times 
as wide as long, much narrower in front than behind; surface 
densely marked with distinct circles, becoming less distinct on
