 Female, length, 13.5 millimeters (without rostrum) ; width, 6. 



Luzon, Kalinga Subprovince, Lubuagan (my collector) ; Da- 

 vangan (A. W. C. T. Herre). Types in the collection of the 

 Bureau of Science, Manila. 



The female of this species is very strikingly different from 

 any related species of the genus on account of the peculiar 

 apical projection. 



Metapocyrtus (Orthocyrtus) moorei sp. nov. 



Glossy black, prothorax and elytra with large golden green 

 metallic scale patches. Rostrum densely punctured, the punc- 

 tures in apical half small, in basal half coarse and irregular. 

 Basal half with a strongly pronounced somewhat rectangular 

 depression bearing mostly a patch of scales. A distinct dorsal 

 cross groove at base separating rostrum from front. The latter 

 sparsely punctured and with a fine longitudinal median groove. 

 Sides of head with a scale spot below eye. Prothorax slightly 

 broader than long, uniformly scatteredly punctured with an 

 anterior submarginal scale stripe, a large irregular scale patch 

 in the middle toward each side, and an oblong patch at each 

 lateral margin. Elytra ovate, with rather irregular rows of 

 fairly coarse punctures. Each elytron of male with two large 

 scale spots at base, three others at the middle of which an 

 oblong marginal spot extends toward apex, and a series of three 

 or four irregular spots at apical third. In female, and some- 

 times in male, the two basal spots are confluent, forming a 

 broad crossband; the spots at apical third also confluent, form- 

 ing a large more or less triangular patch, which extends from 

 first row of punctures laterally to margin. Apex of elytra with 

 a few whitish sete. Metasternum and first abdominal segment 

 laterally with a large scale spot. In male mesosternum and 

 metasternum in the middle with a rather dense patch of fine 

 setae. Femora in both sexes in apical part with a large patch 

 or swarm of scales. Tibiae and tarsi strongly setaceous. 



Male, length, 12 millimeters (without rostrum) ; width, 5. 

 Female, length, 14 millimeters (without rostrum) ; width, 6.5.
