140. Epholchiolaphria aurifacies Macq. 1848. 



Los Banos. Widely spread over the Malay Archipelago and 

 usually referred to the genus Maira. These specimens answer 

 also to the description of azurea Hermann, 1914, from Formosa. 



141. Smeringolaphria alternans Wied. 1828. 



Dapitan, Mindanao. Widely spread over the Oriental Region 

 and recorded also from Formosa. 



142. Anisosis phalaris 0. S. 1882. 



Mount Maquiling, Luzon. A very characteristic, endemic 

 species. The name Anisosis Hermann, 1914, is preoccupied by 

 Anisosis Deyrolle, 1857, in the Coleoptera. 



143. Orthogonis scapularis Wied. 1828. 



Mount Maquiling, Luzon. Widely spread over the Asiatic 

 Archipelago to New Guinea. 



144. Pogonosoma cyanogaster sp. no v. 



This new species is closely allied to P. bleekeri Doleschall from 

 Amboina and to P. semifuscum van der Wulp from Batjan, but 

 is at once distinguished by the cyaneous white-pubescent abdo- 

 men. The recently described funebre Hermann from Formosa 

 is also largely black and has black pubescence on the abdomen. 



Female. — Length of body, 14 millimeters; of wing, 14. Head 

 black, gray-dusted ; ocellar tubercle shining black, with two long 

 black bristles; occiput above with some black bristles, below 

 with white hairs, which pass to the long white beard. Antennse 

 entirely black, the first two joints with long bristles, the third 

 joint oval, as long as the first two together. Face with a very 

 prominent, oval, shining black tubercle, which bears a mystax 

 formed by from ten to twelve long black bristles ; the remaining 

 hairs of the face black below the base of the antennse and white 

 on the sides beneath. Palpi black, with short black hairs; 

 proboscis black, very stout, of the characteristic shape for the 

 genus, with long white hairs at the underside of the basal bulb 

 and with short yellow pubescence at the end. 



Thorax black, rather opaque, with faint metallic reflections 

 and scanty whitish dust, without distinct stripes ; bristles black ; 

 hairs black, but white on the sides and behind; collar gray- 

 dusted, with numerous black bristles ; pleurae white-haired and 

 white-dusted; a strong black bristle on the upper hind corner 

 of mesopleura ; metapleural tuft formed by white bristles. Scu- 

 tellum like the thorax, but more metallic and with black bristles
