antennae short, reaching a little beyond the apical angles of pro- 

 notum, serrate from the fifth joint; epistoma narrow between the 

 antennae, a narrow, deep groove behind the antennae, extending lon- 

 gitudinally down the epistoma to near the anterior margin, which 

 is narrow and arcuately rounded: cheeks unarmed; antennal cavi- 

 ties large and situated a certain distance from the inner margin of 

 the eyes ; eyes rather large, oval, and feebly oblique. Pronotum two 

 times as wide as long, wider in front than behind, widest at the 

 apical third; sides broadly rounded in front to apical third, then 

 converging rapidly in nearly a straight line to the posterior angles, 

 which are broadly rounded; anterior margin arcuately emarginate 

 with a large, broadly rounded median lobe; base strongly bisinuate 

 with a large median lobe feebly concave in front of scutellum; lat- 

 eral carina short, parallel to sides, and reaching from apical fourth 

 to just behind the middle; surface concentrically rugose, the inter- 

 vals finely granulated, with a narrow depression between the lat- 

 eral carina and lateral margin, two round depressions on each side 

 at about the middle, the outer one near the anterior part of the 

 lateral carina, and the inner and deeper one slightly behind the outer 

 one and near the median part, there is also a large, shallow depres- 

 sion in front of the scutellum. Scutellum large, triangular, and acute 

 at apex; surface finely granulated. Elytra much wider than pro- 

 notum at base, rather flat, with a shallow depression on each side 

 at base; sides sinuate, nearly parallel anteriorly, feebly expanded 

 behind the middle to partially cover the widely expanded abdomen, 

 then rapidly converging to the tips, which are acuminate and finely 

 dentate at sides ; surface strongly rugose anteriorly, becoming finely 

 granulated with a few short rugae intermixed toward the apex, 

 marked with irregular bronze, black, and purplish designs, and 

 with a large, conspicuous, irregular black area along the suture at 

 apical third, this area is smooth, sparsely and finely punctate, and 

 surrounded by a bronze zigzag band. Abdomen densely marked 

 with finely crenulate lines and sparsely clothed with short white 

 hairs; last abdominal segment with three short Imifelike projections 

 at the apex ; presternum broadly, arcuately emarginate in front. 



Length, 7.5 mm.; width, 2.6 mm. 



Tyfe locality. — Baguio, Luzon, Philippine Islands. 



Type.— C^t. No. 24662, U.S.N.M. 



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

 (Baker Xo. 16423) on oak {Quercus, species) at Haight's Place, in 

 the mountains above Baguio, Luzon, Philippine Islands, at an alti- 

 tude of 8,000 feet. This specimen is not a typical Toxoscelus but is 

 placed temporarily in this genus. It differs from the typical spe- 

 cies of this genus by having the front margin of the epistoma 

 rounded and the tips of the elytra acuminate.
