bred specimens. Type No. 18397 in College of Agriculture col- 

 lection, Los Banos. 



This species approaches Endelus marseulii H. Deyr. in size; 

 it differs from E. sethiops H. Deyr., which it closely resembles, 

 in being bronzy brown, in the greater obliquity of the face, 

 in the sides of the elytra being parallel for five-eighths of their 

 length and lacking the strong impression and the large gibbosity 

 at their bases. 



The specific name is suggested by the galleries made by the 

 larvae in the leaves of Asplenium sp., which have the appearance 

 of handwriting.
