globular, and with fine, scattered punctures. The female only 

 has a flat depression with fine transverse wrinkles somewhat 

 anterior of the hind margin in the discal area of the thorax. 

 In the middle of the lateral margin a very light pinkish white 

 scale spot of about double the size of the eye. Elytra irregularly 

 punctured in rows, the puncture rows next to the outer margins 

 running together, groovelike. Each elytron with 2 ( $ ) or 3 

 ( 9 ) lateral pinkish white scale spots, one of which is located 

 at the base and the other at the beginning of the apical third. 

 The female has besides the above-mentioned spots another small 

 one in the discal area between the second and third rows of 

 punctures. Still another is more or less indicated at the margin 

 in the apical part of the elytra. Anal segment of the female 

 with two longitudinal impressions as in A. pardalis Hell. 



Female, length, 11.5 millimeters (without rostrum) ; width, 5. 

 Male, length, 10.5 (without rostrum) ; width, 4.5. 



Catanduanes, Virac. Types in my collection. 



Metapocyrtus carinatus sp. nov. 



Black. Rostrum strongly coriaceous, with a prominent longi- 

 tudinal groove. The former triangularly set off between the 

 eyes. Frons also coriaceous. Vertex smooth. Antenna finely 

 pilose, especially the club, scape reaching slightly beyond the 

 fore margin of the thorax. First funicular joint double the 

 length of the second, each of the following joints half as long 

 as the second (and equal among themselves) . Thorax strongly 

 coriaceous, with a marginal groove posteriorly only. Elytra pro- 

 minently carinate, the interspaces with a coriaceous appearance. 

 Elytra of the female with a large pubescent sutural tubercle 

 at the posterior slope and an apical protuberance forming a 

 short thornlike projection. Elytra of the male normally de- 

 veloped. Legs less pronounced coriaceous and beset with silvery 

 gray hair, especially the tibiae and tarsi. Hind femora of the 

 feinale reaching beyond the apex of the elytra, hind femora 

 of the male extending nearly half of their length beyond the 

 elytra. 



Male, length, 9 millimeters (without rostrum) ; width, 2.75. 

 Female, length, 10 (without rostrum) ; width, 3.5. 



Luzon, Benguet, Haight's Place (2,700 meters). Types in 

 my collection. 



This species seems to be related to M. cylas Hell.,' assuming 

 that Heller's description refers to a male.
