TAGALOMANTIS^o new genus. (Plate I, figure 10.) 



We place in this genus the single species described by Saussure 

 as Euchomena manillensis and referred by Giglio-Tos, apparently 

 without having material for comparison, to his genus EuchomeneUa. 

 To that genus nearest affinity is shown, Tagalomantis differing in 

 the following features : 



Form much less attenuate, slender. Eyes smaller and not re- 

 markably protuberant. Pronotum with medio -longitudinal carina 

 very weak. Limbs slender, but not as exceedingly slender as in- 

 EuchomeneUa. Cephalic femora with four discoidal spines, of which 

 the third is very elongate, but not proportionately as extremely 

 elongate as in EuchomeneUa. Ventro-external margin of cephalic 

 femora armed with four elongate spines and one small spine on 

 genicular lobe; ventro-internal margin showing the following spine 

 formula ililililililiiil (for EuchomeneUa ilililililiiiil). Cephalic 

 tibiae with ventro-external margin armed, except for a brief distance 

 proximad, with twelve spines, which increase gradually in size- 

 distad, the proximal spines very small.

Los Banos, Laguna, Island of Luzon, Philippine Islands, (from 

 C. F. Baker), 1 d^. 



This specimen is apparently slightly smaller than the type, but 

 agrees fully in all important features with Saussure's description. 



We would note that the limbs are pale brown, the cephalic coxse 

 showing, on their external surfaces, two slightly paler indistinct 

 transverse bands and having their apices suffused with dark brown 

 internally. In the present specimen the cephalic femora have the 

 discoidal spines and the longer spines of the ventro-internal margin 

 dark brown. Length of body 50, length of pronotum 18.7, length 

 of collar 3.8, greatest width of pronotum 2.6, length of tegmen 27.8,. 

 width of tegminal marginal field L8, length of cephalic femur 11 mm.
