at the lateral margin, one dorsally at the basal third, and the 

 other at about the apical third. Margin at the apex white to- 

 mentose. Prosternum pale reddish tomentose, a large spot lat- 

 erally on the mesosternum and the metasternum and a very large 

 triangular spot laterally at the first abdominal segment. Fourth 

 abdominal segment with a small spot laterally, and fifth with 

 a large spot. Femora irregularly punctured, tibiae and tarsi 

 finely and densely black pubescent. 



Length, 18 millimeters; width, at shoulder, 7. 



Mindanao, Surigao (my collector). Type in my collection. 



I have placed this species provisionally in the above genus, 

 with which it agrees in many characters ; but on account of its 

 longer legs it probably will have to be separated as soon as both 

 sexes can be examined. 



CURCULIONIDiE 



Pachyrrhynchus virgatus sp. nov. Plate I, fig. 1, $ . 



Shiny black, impunctate, except the rostrum. In general form 

 similar to P. venustus Waterh., although somewhat stouter in 

 build than the latter, with reddish golden spots, which are 

 strongly opalescent if seen at a certain angle. Rostrum finely 

 and scatteredly punctured, slightly divergent toward the apex, 

 at the middle abruptly set off, the basal half with a broad de- 

 pression and a fine medial line. Front with a large roundish 

 spot, and a small squarish spot below the eye. Prothorax with 

 a round spot laterally, at the middle between anterior and pos- 

 terior margins, and another larger spot at the lateral margin. 

 Each elytron with two large basal oval spots, one discally, the 

 other laterally; three spots about the middle, one a round spot 

 discally laterad, another more laterally, and a large oval spot 

 at the lateral margin. A bifid round sutural spot beyond the 

 middle and another smaller sutural spot at the apical fourth. 

 Obliquely posteriorly, and laterad to the large sutural, another 

 large round spot. Between this spot and the large oval spot at 

 the lateral margin usually another small spot is present in the 

 female. Another spot near the lateral margin at the apical 

 triangle. In some specimens a very small spot is located pos- 

 terior to the discal basal spot. Apical sutural termination of 

 the elytra not obtusely pointed as in P. venustus Waterh. 



Male, length, 17.5 millimeters; width, 6.5. Female, length, 

 18 millimeters; width, 7.8.
