In the figure given by Van Duzee the femora are represented 
as reaching over the sides of the body, but this is wrong. The 
Philippine 4. grisea Banks is apparently a true Apines. 
Diaphyta rosea n. sp. 
Obovate, pink-colored, basal border of pronotum and apex of scutel- 
lum broadly tinged with whitish; second and third ventral segments 
whitish from near the middle to near the spiracles, rostrum and anten- 
nz testaceous, fourth and fifth antennal joints (except at base), pos- 
terior lateral margins of tylus, a point at the base of the fore and mid- 
dle acetabula, and the apical angles of the abdominal segments black; 
spiracles placed in a small whitish callus. 
Head a little broader than long and a little shorter than the prono- 
tum, slightly sinuate in front of the eyes, beneath very finely and spar- 
ingly punctured, above transversely rugulose; apical half of juga very 
thickly and finely punctulate, ocellar areas smooth with a single slightly 
curved row of fine punctures on each side a little inside the ocelli; 
rostrum slightly passing the middle of the third ventral segment; an- 
tennz rather stout, third joint distinctly shorter than the second and 
as long as the fifth, fourth joint as long as the second. 
Pronotum strongly but rather sparingly and irregularly punctured 
with fuscous, with smaller points intermixed, all points becoming black 
on the basal area, the transverse discal impression interrupted in the 
middle, anterior lateral margins straight, narrowly elevated, lateral 
angles obtuse, not prominent, posterior lateral margins and basal mar- 
gin broadly and slightly sinuate. Scutellum strongly but remotely punc- 
tured with fuscous, more thickly so on the sides behind the middle, 
the punctures blackened on the apical area. Acetabula and posterior 
border of propleure and metapleure punctured with fuscous, sternal 
lamina in front of the fore coxe roundedly narrowing, bent upward, 
being contiguous to the sternum, not freely prominent. Hemelytra 
somewhat passing apex of abdomen, corium reaching base of last con- 
nexival segment, rather strongly and thickly concolorously punctured, 
the punctures becoming fuscous toward the inner part, membrane 
glossy, infuscated. 
Abdomen beneath strongly concolorously punctured, smooth along 
the centre, apical angles of the segments acutely prominent, last male 
ventral segment in the middle longer than the two preceding segments 
combined, male genital segment broadly sinuate at apex. 
Legs pink, femora with very small sanguineous points, upper side of 
tibize strongly punctured with black. Length, ¢ 85 mm. 
West Australia. 
Less elongate than D. pulchra Westw. (of which fulvescens 
Dall. is possibly only a variety), quite differently colored and
