Type.— Male, U.S.N.M. No. 55886. 



Type locality.— Cuernos Mountains, Negros, P. I. (C. F. Baker). 



STENOTARSUS FLAVOSCAPULARIS, new species 



Generally similar in markings to the preceding but easily dis- 

 tinguished by the much shorter and very convex form and the strongly 

 shining elytra. Antennae half as long as body, first two joints pitchy 

 red, remainder black except apical joint, which is reddish (probably 

 yellow in life) ; joints 2 to 7 subequal in length, joint 8 a little shorter, 

 joints 9 and 10 broadly obconical; the outer-apical border of joint 11 

 almost a semicircle, the inner border slightly convex; all three club 

 joints very little flattened. Pronotum very much as in S. flavomacula- 

 tus, black, shining, very finely and sparsely punctured, each puncture 

 bearing a fine, erect seta. Elytra highly elevated, black, shining, finely, 

 sparsely punctured and with correspondingly sparse, erect pubescence ; 

 umbo moderately inflated, entirely gold-yellow. There is a broad 

 bar of like color between the umbo and suture and another bar of 

 similar shape and color between the middle and apex of each elytron. 

 Under surface and legs black; tarsi and coxae pitchy red. Length 

 2 mm., width 1.25 mm. 



Type.— Male, U.S.N.M. No. 55887. 



Type locality.— -Dapitan, Mindanao, P. I. (C. F. Baker). 



Three specimens bearing the same data as the type are designated 

 paratypes. On one of these the anterior elytral spot is small and 

 rounded ; on another it is confluent with the light color of the umbo ; 

 and on the third it is similar to that on the type, i. e., transversely 

 rectangular. A specimen from St. Thomas, Luzon, is very similar to 

 the type, while yet another, from Lamao, Luzon, has the elytra broadly 

 yellow at the base and the postmedian mark is a bar extending from 

 the suture to the lateral margin. This last specimen may represent 

 still another species, since in addition to the differences in markings 

 the punctures of the pronotum and elytra are coarser. In its markings 

 and puncturation it resembles S. flavoinaculatus but is identical in 

 shape with the type of S. flavoscapulaHs, and the difference in this 

 respect is too great to admit the hypothesis of intergradation. Both 

 these species present striking divergences from other species of Steno- 

 tarsus, but there are no characters worthy of generic recognition.
