EIGHTH CONTRIBUTION TO THE COLEOPTERA 
FAUNA OF THE PHILIPPINES 
By W. SCHULTZE 
Of Manila, P. I. 
ONE COLORED PLATE AND ONE BLACK PLATE 
In this paper I wish to make known among others a series of 
new and rather conspicuous Philippine Cerambycide. Our pres- 
ent knowledge of the identified longicorns of the Philippine 
Islands, aside from those herein described, comprises some two 
hundred eighty species of which about one-third was originally 
described by Newman ' from material collected by Hugh Cuming 
during 1836 to 1840. Several other series of cerambycids, as 
well as other Coleoptera, of the Cuming material were described 
by Westwood, G. R. Waterhouse, Pascoe, and various other au- 
thors; and in no instance is the exact locality for the species 
given, except in some cases “Manilla,” and for obvious reasons 
this locality name should be disregarded unless verified by new 
records. Concerning the localities of, as well as other data 
on, H. Cuming’s collections from the Philippine Islands, useful 
references are given by Merrill.” 
The following species are herein described:
