sally interrupted, at anterior margin. Elytra short ovate, finely 

 coriaceous and very indistinctly striate-punctate. A transverse 

 stripe at base continued as marginal stripe to apex. In the 

 middle an irregular crossband confluent with the marginal 

 stripes. Dorsolateral^ a longitudinal stripe, interrupted behind 

 the crossband, extending from base to near apex, where it be- 

 comes confluent with the marginal stripe. In the basal half 

 laterally another longitudinal stripe reaching only to the trans- 

 verse stripe, the latter at the junction mostly spotlike ex- 

 panded. The dorsolateral stripe in apical fourth with a short, 

 forward-curved branch. Prosternum and mesosternum closely 

 beset with scales, metasternum and first abdominal sternite with 

 a large scale spot laterally. Femora with a broad circular scale 

 band near apex, anterior femora in addition with an oblong scale 

 patch above. Penis structure, Plate 3, fig. 23. 



Male, length, 14 millimeters (without rostrum) ; width, 6. 

 Female, length, 14.5 millimeters (without rostrum) ; width, 6.5. 



Catanduanes, Virac (Schultze). 



This species is closely related to P. phaleratus Waterh. The 

 scale markings are somewhat variable. One specimen which I 

 received from Dr. Dexter Allen, from the above locality, has a 

 fine interrupted sutural scale line in apical half; in another 

 specimen a small oblong submarginal spot is located in apical 

 third.

 Pachyrrhynchiis stellio Heller, Philip. Journ. Sci. § D 7 (1912) 320. 

 Black; prothorax and elytra with pale green scale lines. Re- 

 lated to P. moniliferus Germ., but larger and slenderer in form. 

 Rostrum and lines on prothorax very similar to those of P. 

 phaleratus Waterh. Rostrum with a rather shallow and flat 

 depression in basal half and a broad transverse scale spot in the 

 middle. Another spot below eye. Prothorax longer than broad, 

 bluish black, glossy, very finely punctate. In basal half of pro- 

 thorax a combination of lines forming the figure T; the cross 

 line of the latter branches laterally, forward and backward, 

 and circumscribes each side. Elytra finely coriaceous and with- 

 out any puncture rows. The line markings almost identical 

 with those in P. moniliferus Germ., an interrupted cross line 

 in the middle, furthermore each elytron with a short frag- 

 mentary longitudinal line at base and apex and a marginal line 

 in apical half.
