ART. 7. NEW BUPRESTID BEETLES FISHER. 15 



wider than long, front and base about equal in width, widest at the 

 apical third; disk convex and regularly rounded, with the sides nar- 

 rowly depressed from apical angles to base; lateral margin finely 

 crenulate, strongly arcuate to apical third, then feebly narrowed to 

 the posterior angles, which are nearly rectangular; anterior margin 

 arcuately emarginate, with the median lobe feebly angulate at mid- 

 dle ; base strongly bisinuate with a broadly rounded median lobe in 

 front of scutellum; surface rather finely punctate and feebly rugose, 

 sparsely clothed with inconspicuous black hairs, becoming cinerous 

 near the apical angles ; lateral carina not present. Scutellum cordate, 

 very feebly rugose. Elytra about equal in width to the pronotum, 

 slightly convex, each elytron with a deep depression at the base, a 

 similar one along the lateral margin behind humerus, and a broad, 

 shallow one along suture near apex ; sides slightly sinuate and nearly 

 parallel to the apical third, then arcuately attenuate to tips, which 

 are conjointly broadly rounded; lateral margin finely crenulate ante- 

 riorly, becoming strongly serrate toward apex ; surface strongly im- 

 bricate, sparsely clothed with short black, curved hairs, which are 

 scarcely visible, except when viewed from the side. Beneath coarsely 

 imbricate and sparsely clothed with short recumbent cinereous hairs. 



Length, 7 mm. ; width, 2.75 mm. 



Tijye locality. — Baguio, Luzon, Philippine Islands. 



Type.—Q^X. No. 24670, U.S.N.M. 



Described from a single specimen collected by Prof. C. F. Baker, 

 on oak (Quercus, species) at Haight's Place, in the mountains above 

 Baguio, Luzon, Philippine Islands, at an altitude of 8,000 feet. This 

 species is closely allied to Coraebus melibaeiformis Saunders and 

 Coraehus azureus Fisher. From both these species it differs by not 

 having a lateral carina on the pronotum. It can also be distinguished 

 from the former by being more elongate and of a bluish-green color 

 and from the latter by the absence of pubescent markings on the 

 elytra. 



SAMBUS PHILIPPINUS, new species. 



Large, rather robust and moderately convex, head and pronotum 

 brilliant green, elytra bronzy and marked with irregular bands of 

 cinereous pubescence on apical part; beneath bronzy, and sparsely 

 clothed with short white pubescence. 



Head with front slightly rounded, narrowly, longitudinally 

 grooved, the groove becoming obsolete on the front ; surface finely and 

 rather densely punctate, feebly rugose and sparsely clothed with short, 

 recumbent cinereous pubescence ; antennae bronzy, not quite reachmg 

 to middle of pronotum ; clypeal suture distinct ; epistoma rather wide, 

 transverse between the antennae. Pronotum two times as wide as 

 long, slightly narrower in front than behind, widest at the middle ;
