tured, narrowly margined. Mesosternum broadening anteriorly, sub- 

 foveate on each side. Frost ernum hardly surpassing front coxae, 

 broad, widely excised at tip. Legs long and slender, the last tarsal 

 joint especially so; front tibia straight, middle tibia straight, toothed 

 and excised internally beyond the middle; hind tibia slightly incurved 

 near apex. Last ventral segment with its posterior margin undulate.

Type locality. — Szechwan, China (D. C. Graham). 



Genus HELIOBLETUS Gorham 



HELIOBLETUS PHILIPPINENSIS, new species 



Figuee 12, m, n 



Characters of Ileliobletus Gorham, ferruginous, clothed with 

 sparse, tawny pubescence. Antennae more than half as long as body, 

 ferruginous except for last four joints and apex of joint 7; joint 1 

 massive; joints 2 to 5 longer than broad, joints 6 and 7 quadrate, joint 

 8 beadlike, joint 9 globose, greatly swollen, rounded above, slightly 

 concave below, joint 10 triangular and transverse, joint 11 oval. Pro- 

 notum a little broader than long, rather strongly but evenly convex, 

 finely and closely punctured with a row of coarser punctures across 

 the base. Front angles produced, acuminate. Sides finely margined, 

 roundly contracted at middle, hind angles slightly divergent and acute. 

 Scutellum transverse. Elytra decidedly but not much wider at base 

 than pronotum, evenly, strongly convex, their lateral margins invisi- 

 ble from above, finely and closely punctured. Front tibia straight, 

 simple; middle and hind tibiae enlarged in distal two-thirds, the 

 middle one slightly incurved one-third the distance from apex. Length 

 3.6 mm., width 1.5 mm. 



Type.— Male, U.S.N.M. No. 55882. 



Type locality. — Zamboango, Minandao, P. I. (C. F. Baker). 



The four species of Hclioblctus hitherto known are all from Borneo 

 and very similar. The specimen before me evidently does not belong 

 to any of the three species described by Arrow. The possibility 

 remains that it is the male of H. servilis described by Gorham from 

 a single female specimen from Borneo. 



Genus SAULA Gerstaecker 



SAULA LOBATIPES, new species

Allied to S. curvipes Arrow but less convex and with slenderer 

 antennae, which are, however, similar to those of curvipes,' joint 1
