Metapocyrtus (Trachycyrtus) multisquamosus sp. nov. Plate I, fig. 

 13, 9. 



Black, with creamy white scales, rather uniformly scattered 

 on the prothorax, but on the elytra arranged in irregular spots. 

 Rostrum sparsely and irregularly punctured and scantily setose ; 

 at the base constricted and set off by a strongly pronounced 

 cross groove. Basal half with a well-pronounced medial groove, 

 continued to the front. Prothorax indistinctly variolosely punc- 

 tured, its greatest width before the middle. Elytra of female 

 with irregular rows of coarse punctures and numerous spots of 

 scales, located mostly at the interstices; of male with more 

 regular rows of very coarse punctures, the interstices forming 

 distinct ridges. Legs irregularly and sparsely punctured and 

 setose. Hind femora of female reaching well beyond apex of 

 elytra; hind femora of male reaching about half the length of 

 elytra, beyond apex of the latter. 



Male, length, 9 millimeters; width, 3.8. Female, length, 11 

 millimeters; width, 4.8. 



Siargao Island (my collector) . Types in my collection. Nu- 

 merous specimens were collected, but only from the above lo- 

 cality. 



Ehinoscapha merrilli sp. nov. Plate I, fig. 16, 9 . 



Black, covered with scales of various shades of greenish col- 

 ors. Rostrum and prothorax as well as legs light greenish blue. 

 Lateral margins of prothorax, a large patch on each elytron ba- 

 sally, also apically along the lateral margin, light yellowish 

 green. Underside very light green, opalescent. Rostrum dense- 

 ly and irregularly punctured, a smooth longitudinal ridge at the 

 middle bare of scales. Antennal groove terminating just before 

 eye. Antenna with the second funicular joint longest, club 

 black. Prothorax densely and irregularly punctured, except a 

 median stripe, the latter with a groove anteriorly. Each elytron 

 with nine longitudinal ridges which are connected by irregular 

 cross ridges, thus forming large and strongly pronounced, 

 squarish depressions. At the base and near the lateral margins 

 and apex the longitudinal ridges are less pronounced, the cross 

 ridges are absent, thus forming a large irregular patch at the 

 base and near the apex. The patches vary individually. 



Male, length, 17.8 millimeters, with rostrum; width at 

 shoulder, 5.5. Female, length 20.8 millimeters, with rostrum; 

 width at shoulder, 6.8.
