RHYNCHOTA PHILIPPINENSIA, PAKT I. 65 



about twice as long as pronotum and mesonotum together, somewhat strongly, 

 upwardly recurved, its extreme apex subtruncate and piceous, the lateral margins 

 above strongly ridged as are also the lateral margins of the face, central 

 carination to face and clypeus sharply prominent; tegmina transversely veined in 

 costal area, irregularly transversely wrinkled in subcostal area; other structural 

 characters as in generic diagnosis. 



In the unique 5 type the genital apparatus above consists of two long parallel 

 spinous appendages, the apices of which are piceous. 



Long. 9 excl. tegm. 15 millimeters, Exp. tegm. 29 millimeters.

The above two species are quite distinct. In S. acutus the anteocular 

 portion of the head is longer than the basal space between the eyes; in 

 8. simplex the head only projects a little in front of the eyes and is only 

 about one-third the length of the basal space between the eyes. 



Syrgis fasciatus sp. nov. (Plate I, fig. 10.) 



Fuscous brown; body beneath and legs a little darker; face castaneous brown, 

 the base narrowly black and with two somewhat ill-defined transverse fasoise (the 

 first before and the second beyond middle), apical margin before clypeus and the 

 posterior portions of lateral margins, pale ochraceous; tibiae, tarsi and annulations 

 to femora, piceous; sternum mottled with piceous; tegmina with three irregular 

 transverse piceous fascise, the first basal, the second broad and at about middle, 

 its costal half broad and sub-triangular and then continued to clavus by two 

 narrow bifurcations, the third fascia narrow, continuous and subapical, apical 

 margin spotted with piceous; vertex longer than in 8. acutus Walk., the anteocular 

 portion longer than the basal space between the eyes, vertex and pronotum strongly, 

 centrally, longitudinally carinate; mesonotum more faintly tricarinate; face 

 strongly, centrally, longitudinally carinate. 



Long. 7 millimeters. 



Hab. Philippine Islands; Manila {Charles S. BanJcs collector). 

 Allied to S. acutus Walk., from which it differs by the longer and more 

 produced vertex and the fasciated face and tegmina.
