2 with along, claw-like prolongation extending over 3 above, 

 black at the tip.

 rate ; head and legs black.

Hab. Philippines, Mt. Makiling, Luzon [Baker: No. 

 3035). 



One pair. An elongate form, with a smooth, subquadrate, 

 testaceous, shining prothorax and long, nigro-violaceous 

 elytra, the latter each with two transverse white spots and 

 the surface very finely punctured. It bears some re- 

 semblance to L. birinanicus. Champ., which has very different 

 elytral markings and a longer prothorax. The long claw- 

 like extension to the second joint of the anterior tarsi in 

 the (^ is a character foreign to all the species of Laius I 

 have hitherto examined, but a ^ of L. tetrastictus sent by 

 Mr. Baker and two others from Perak also possess a very 

 similar structure. L. falcifer must be nearly related to 

 L. adonis, Pic (1921), from Sumatra.

Laius tetrastictus, Champ. Ann. & Mag. Nat. Hist. (9) vii. p. 342 ( $ )

(^ . Antennal joint 1 moderately thickened outwards 

 (as in ? ), 2 elongate, oblique, widened, concave, scaphi-

 with the reflexed inner margin extending backward at the 

 base and there furnished with a long, slender, curved ap- 

 pendage (fig. 8) ; anterior tarsal joint 2 extending over the

 types ((??); three ^ ^ and four ? ? from the S.E. portion 

 of the island.

(^ . Elongate, narrow, rather convex, widened posteriorly, 

 finely pubescent, the head and prothorax moderately shining, 

 the elytra subopaque ; nigro-piceous, the anterior portion of 

 the head, mouth-parts, the antennal joints 1, 2, and 10, the 

 anterior legs (except the tarsal joints 2-5), the intermediate 

 legs (except the apices of the tarsi), and the bases of the 

 posterior tibiae and tarsi, testaceous ; the elytra each with
