 Allocota cyanipennis sp. nov. 



A. viridipennis Motsch. simillima sed paulo brevior ac Iatior, 

 capite prothoraceque plus cinnabarinis ; elytris pulcherrime 

 chalybeis, striis multo subtilioribus, stria subsuturali apice ex- 

 cepta, haud impressis, sternitis abdominalibus, 3., 4., et 5., dis- 

 tinctive punctatis. Long. 6.5, lat. 2.4 mm. 



Mindanao, Bukidnon Province, Tangcolan (Baker H261). 



Besides the greater redness of the head and prothorax and 

 the steel blue elytra, this species differs from viridipennis 

 Motsch. 19 also by the shorter and much finer seriate-punctate 

 elytra, which, except the sutural stria toward the apex, are 

 by no means sulcate; whereas in viridipennis all the striae, es- 

 pecially the first, second, fifth, and sixth, are impressed toward 

 the apex so that the interval between the seventh and eighth 

 striae forms a striking oblong callosity in the apical third.
