SOME FUNGUS BEETLES OF THE FAMILY ENDOMY- 

 CHIDAE IN THE UNITED STATES NATIONAL MUSEUM, 

 MOSTLY FROM LATIN AMERICA AND THE PHILIPPINE 

 ISLANDS 



By H. F. Strohecker 



Through the kindness of Dr. E. A. Chapin and other officials of 

 the U. S. National Museum, I have had opportunity to study some of 

 the endomychids in the collections of that institution. Although 

 comparatively few in number, these have proved of considerable in- 

 terest and include a number of new species. In addition, the follow- 

 ing records are of note : 



Eumorphus marginatus (Fabricius) : A single male specimen from Baguio, 

 Luzon, P. I. 



Eumorphus tetraspilotus Hope: A male and a female from Palawan, P. I. 



Cyclotoma pardalina (Gerstaecker) : Eleven specimens from Mindanao, P. I. 

 These are indistinguishable from specimens from Java, the type "locality." 



Cyclotoma testudinaria Mulsant: Three specimens from Palawan. I suspect 

 pardalina and coccinellina are color varieties of testudinaria. 



Genus BECCARIA Gorham 



BECCARIA SEPTEMGUTTATA, new species
