CURCULIONIDiE 



Genus EUMACROCYRTUS novum 



Related to Macrocyrtus Heller. Rostrum slightly longer than 

 broad. Scape of antenna reaching beyond posterior margin 

 of eye. Prothorax with distinct and sharply denned anterior 

 and posterior submarginal groove and a dimplelike depression 

 dorsolateral^. Elytra dorsally slightly flattened, the greatest 

 width in the middle, lateral margins from the middle rather 

 abruptly and strongly convergent toward apex ; apical fourth of 

 elytra extending beyond abdomen, forming a mammilla-shaped 

 projection in both sexes. First and second abdominal sternites 

 in both sexes connate, the following three well segmented. 



Type species, Eumacrocyrtus canlaonensis sp. nov., from Ne- 

 gros, Philippine Islands. 

 Eumacrocyrtus canlaonensis sp. nov. 



Dark brown, almost black, with inconspicuous pale bluish white 

 scale markings. Rostrum dorsally scatteredly punctured, with 

 an indistinct longitudinal groovelike depression extending to 

 front, where it forms a well-pronounced groove; at base an 

 indistinct transverse depression. Prothorax as long as broad, 

 glossy, finely and scatteredly punctured, a minute hair arising 

 from each puncture, the punctures nearly obsolete in the male. 

 A dimplelike depression dorsolateral^, nearer middle than base. 

 At lateral margins an irregular patch of fine bluish white scales. 

 Elytra finely, scatteredly punctured and sparsely granulate m the 

 male, in the female the punctures much coarser and more irreg- 

 ular. Elytra dorsally in both sexes with very fine and evenly 

 scattered scales. The latter toward and at basal and lateral 

 margins gradually increase in size and density and are most 

 strongly pronounced as an irregular broad stripe along basal 

 and lateral margins. The apical mammillary projection slightly 

 longer in the female, in both sexes beset with rather long 

 scattered set* arising from the punctures, particularly along the 

 connate suture. Mesosternum slightly, metasternum and first 

 and second abdominal sternites in the middle with a large and 

 prominent patch of dense furlike ochraceous pubescence in both 

 sexes. Legs reddish brown, femora irregu arly punctured 

 sparsely setose. Tibiae, on the underside with a number of 

 small tubercles, moderately setose.
