Hab. Luzon. East Mindanao. (Brussels Mus.). 
This species resembles in general shape and in its subcylindrical 
appearance more that of a ÆZaplosoma or Mimastra; the male 
has no excavation on the head, but the last abdominal segment is 
trilobate at the apex, the lateral lobes being obliquely cut at their 
inner edges. 
Cynorta costata n.sp. 
Fulvous, the antennæ obscure flavous, thorax subquadrate, 
bifoveolate, impunctate, elytra longitudinally costate, the inter-

Length 2 1/2 lines.

elongate, the frontal elevations trigonate, distinctly raised, 
nearly contiguous, the space above the clypeus deeply sulcate at 
each side, eyes very large, lower portion of face smooth, rather 
concave, apical joint of the palpi, conical, acute, antennæ extend-

Hab. Perak. (coll. Jacoby). 
This insect is of entirely fulvous colour and posesses all the 
characters of Cynorta; it seems allied to ©. ocellata Baly but 
differs in the binot, trifoveolate thorax and in the differently 
structured head of the male insect; the three specimens contained
