underside and legs flavous, the abdomen and the tarsi more or 
less fuscous, posterior tibiæ mucronate, the first joint of the poste- 
rior tarsi as long as the following joints together. 
Hab. Isabela, Philippine Islands. (Brussels Mus.). 
This seems to be a perfectly distinct species to judge from the 
single apparently male specimen before me; the simple head, . 
comparative length of the joints of the antennæ (the terminal 
joints are broken off) and the coloration distinguish the species 
from any of its allies ; I cannot discover à spine at the anterior 
tibiæ however, although all other structural characters peculiar 
to Cynorta are present. 
Cynorta Semperi n. sp. 
Fulvous, thorax subquadrate, finely rugose, bifoveolate, elytra 
finely longitudinally costate, the interstices closely and strongly 
punctured, fulvous, the lateral margins metalic bluish. 
G Head with a deep excavation, the interior of the latter 
furnished with a projecting process, sulcate above. 
Length 3 lines. 
Head impunctate, fulvous, labrum and palpi piceous, antennæ 
with the third and fourth joints equal; thorax slightly broader 
than long, narrowe dat the base, the disc bifoveolate, finely and 
closely rugose-punctate ; elytra depressed, fulvous with a slight 
metallic gloss, the sides metallic blue or violaceous, the disc 
closely and strongly punctured interrupted by narrowly raised 
longitudinal costæ; underside and legs flavous. 
Hab. Arayat, Philippines (Brussels Mus.). 
The rugosely punctured thorax, strongly punctured and costate 
elytra will help to distinguish this species; the frontal excavation 
of the head in the male is not large but deep, it contains a ful- 
vous horn-like projection at its upper edge deeply sulcate above, 
the lower edge of the excavation has a small tooth at its middle, 
the penultimate joint of the palpi is ovate, swollen and black, 
rather long, the lower joints are fulvous ; the female has a simple 
head ; the antennæ in both sexes are incomplete in the specimens 
before me. 
Cynorta citrina n. sp. 
Entirely flavous, shining, thorax bifoveolate, elytra finely and 
closely punctured, subcylindrical. 
Length 3 lines. 
Of parallel, subeylindrical shape, the head impunctate, the 
frontal tubercles distinct, the clypeus triangularly raised, palpi
