New and little-known Lagriidae and Pedilidas. 221 



" modice pimctatis."* whatever that may mean? The 

 occipital groove is short and shallow in the Salwatty 

 examples. 



25. Macratria semperi, n. sp. 



Moderately elongate, robust, rather narrow, the • broader, shining 

 (when denuded), somewhat thickly clothed with brownish pubes- 

 cence; nigro-piceous or piceous, the head rufescent, the palpi, 



antennae, mouth-parts, and tarsi (the basal joint of the posterior 

 pair excepted) testaceous, the femora and tibiae more or less in- 

 fuscate in £, those of the anterior and intermediate legs testaceous 

 in $. Head large, about as wide as the prothorax, narrowly 

 extended behind the greatly developed oval eyes, arcuately narrowed 

 posteriorly, closely punctate, the occipital groove short and shallow; 

 maxillary palpi broad, joint 4 very stout ; antennae long, slender, 

 joints 9-11 stouter and elongated, 11 nearly equalling 9 and 10 

 united. Prothorax ample, oblong-oval, feebly, obliquely compressed 

 on the flanks posteriorly, the basal groove conspicuous; densely, 

 somewhat roughly punctate. Elytra much wider than the pro- 

 thorax, comparatively short, subparallel in their basal half; closely, 

 finely punctate, and also closely punctato-striate to Dear the apex, 

 the interstices subcostate externally. Pygidium slightly emarginate 

 at tip in <J. Legs stout, the basal joint of the anterior and inter- 

 mediate tarsi much thickened, that of the anterior pair nearly as 

 broad as the tibia in $. 

 Length 4-4| mm. (<J $.) 



Hah. Philippine Is., Bohol and Samar (Semper). 



Three specimens. This is one of several species of 

 Macratria found by Semper in the Philippines; it differs 

 from the immaculate variety of .1/. bicincta, .Mais., in having 

 the head rufous and much less developed behind the eyes, 

 the prothorax less attenuate in front, and the apical joint 

 of the antennae not greatly elongated in <$. The sub- 

 parallel, more sparsely punctate elytra, the broader 

 maxillary palpi, the red head, and the more slender antennae 

 separate M. semperi from M.fuhripes, Pasc.
