Aphrodisium semiignitum Chevr.’ Plate 1, fig. 10, ¢. 
As belonging to this species I identified several specimens that 
were caught with specimens of Aphrodisium luzonicum and 
Pachyteria ilocana, which are described in this paper. It is easily 
distinguished from A. luzonicum and A. panayarum by its 
strikingly different coloration: Head, prothorax, and elytra 
metallic reddish bronze, medial area toward latera] margins 
of elytra dark purple; antennz and legs dark blue, except tarsi, 
which are rufescent-ochraceous. All the above-mentioned species 
were collected near Bangui, Ilocos Norte, Luzon, from certain 
flowers, on which they were feeding.
