Metapocyrtus (Metapocyrtus) lumutanus sp. nov. Plate 1, fig. 9, 2 . 



Glossy black, with small pale golden greenish scale spots. 

 Rostrum divergent toward apex, scatteredly punctured, a medial 

 longitudinal groove and pronounced oblong triangular depres- 

 sion in basal half, the lateral margins of which form some- 

 what raised ridges. Rostrum with a broad transverse groove 

 at base. Front sparsely punctured with a small roundish scale 

 spot, and an indistinct medial groove in the female. Sides of 

 head with a triangular scale spot below eye. Prothorax as 

 long as broad, in the female dorsally sparsely and scatteredly 

 punctate, in the male almost impunctate. Both sexes with an 

 indistinct anterior and a well-pronounced posterior submar- 

 ginal groove. A roundish spot dorsolateral^ at anterior mar- 

 gin, a triangular spot, also dorsolateral^, near posterior 

 margin, and a small roundish scale patch in the middle at 

 each lateral margin. Elytra oblong-ovate, finely and irregularly 

 punctate-striate ; each elytron with eleven small roundish spots. 

 Two spots are located near base, one dorsolateral^, the other 

 near anterolateral angle; three other spots form a transverse 

 row near middle; six spots are located at apical half, one of 

 them at margin, one near apex, three at dorsolateral slope, and 

 one subsutural spot at apical fourth. In the female the latter 

 spot is located on a small roundish tubercle which bears a small 

 tuft of short black setae. Metasternum with a scale patch 

 laterally. Femora with a circumscribing scale band near apex. 



Male, length, 9.8 millimeters (without rostrum) ; width, 4. 

 Female, length, 11.5 millimeters (without rostrum) ; width, 5.

Metapocyrtus (Metapocyrtus) similis sp. nov. Plate 1, fig. 1. 



Head black, prothorax glossy greenish bronze, elytra glassy 

 dark purplish brown with small pale greenish scale spots. In 

 general aspect this species resembles very much Metapocyrtus 

 lumutanus. Rostrum minutely and sparsely punctate toward 

 apex, in basal half with a deep and sharply defined longitudinal 

 medial groove. Rostrum obtusely angled at basal junction with 

 front, the medial groove continued on the latter. Prothorax 

 longer than broad, the greatest width before the middle, im- 

 punctate. A distinct anterior submarginal groove beset with 

 a fine narrow scale line. Lateral margins in the middle with
