DE. F. LEUTHNER ON THE ODONTOLABINI. 473 



margin. Elytra long, oval, upper side less convex, the shoulders straight, shoulder- 

 angles acute, otherwise as in 0. latipennis. 



Female. Uniform deep black, head and prothorax dull, elytra shining. Head much 

 broader than in 0. latipennis ; can thus projecting more outwards, and broader ; 

 mentum broader ; prothorax broader, front edge strongly emarginate on each side ; 

 front angles acute, sides nearly straight ; prosternal process flattened, finely pointed 

 behind; elytra long, oval, upper side less convex than in 0. latipennis, but more so 

 than in 0. camelus ; shoulder-angles acute, outer margin strongly curved outwards in 

 the middle ; upper surface deep uniform black, in the middle shining, and on the 

 sides dull. Front tibiae longer than in 0. latipennis, narrow, with five spines above 

 the terminal fork ; the hind legs are also longer, and occasionally narrower, and the 

 tarsi much longer in comparison than in 0. latipennis. All the tibise are narrower 

 and straighter, and the punctuation is more granular. 



Habitat. Luzon (Manilla). 



I found examples of this species mixed with those of 0. alces from Manilla, not only 

 in Herr Schneider's consignment, but also in Herr van Lansberge's collection. The 

 striking difference in the females led me to treat it as distinct. Although the females 

 are always very like those of 0. latipennis, they are still more closely allied to those of 

 0. camelus from Mindoro. The two figures on the plate are unfortunately not so exact 

 in outline as I could wish.

Male. Uniform brown, with a coppery green lustre. Head quadrangular, or but 

 slightly expanded behind the eyes, epistoma broad, canthus slender, emarginate before 

 the eyes; mentum thickly clothed with brown hair; prothorax with the front edge 

 strongly emarginate on each side, front angles acute, sides slightly S-shaped, central 

 spine finely pointed ; sides behind strongly emarginate, hind margin much waved ;
