Black; prothorax and elytra with pale yellowish green scale 

 stripes forming a net or mesh design. Rostrum in basal half 

 with an oblong depression and indistinct medial groove. In the 

 depression an elongate triangular scale spot reaching to front. 

 Sides of rostrum and head with a scale stripe. Prothorax as 

 long as broad, with a scale line along anterior margin and a 

 combination of curved stripes which circumscribe dorsally five 

 bare areas, two at the anterior margin which are more or less 

 confluent, two at the posterior margin, and a small squarish area 

 discally. The lateral margins also circumscribed by stripes. 

 Elytra very regularly striate-punctate. Each elytron divided 

 by diagonal stripes into nine irregular bare areas, and two ad- 

 ditional sutural areas at base and behind the middle are common 

 to both elytra. Prosternum with a scale stripe at anterior and 

 posterior margins and in the middle, mesosternum with a cross- 

 band and spots laterally, metasternum also with spots laterally, 

 and first abdominal sternite with a broad crossband. The last 

 abdominal sternite very coarsely punctate and scatteredly 

 scaled. Legs black, femora with a scale spot near apex. Penis 

 structure, Plate 3, fig. 32. 



Male, length, 12 millimeters (without rostrum) ; width, 6. 

 Female, length, 14.5 millimeters (without rostrum) ; width, 7. 

 Luzon, Laguna Province, Lilio and Paete (Schultze). 

 This species is rather variable; specimens which I consider 

 as typical in accordance with the Waterhouse description, for 

 part of which see footnote, 45 were collected at the aforemen- 

 tioned locality; but among these specimens are some with red 

 or reddish brown femora. Other specimens which I received 

 from Luzon, Camarines Sur Province, Isarog Volcano, differ 

 from the typical form, since the stripe markings are reduced 

 to fine and narrow scale lines, the color of which is golden green. 

 Still other specimens I designate herewith as — 



44 Sp. 19. Pachyrrhynchus reticulatus, Waterh. 



Niger; capite lineis tribus longitudinalibus notate; thorace elytrisque 

 lineis aureo-viridibus vel cupreis areas polygonas circumdantibus reti- 

 culate' ornatis; and the following passage from the English description 

 "—The upper surface of the thorax is divided into five areas by coloured 

 lines, — two areas in front, which are more or less confluent, two behind, 

 and a small central one; and on each side of the thorax there is more- 

 over a large inclosed area."
