Ehiobia longirostris sp. no v. 



Glabrous, dull, coloration as in the preceding species with 

 the following exceptions : The small fuscous median basal spot 

 to pronotum and subbasal spot to corium wanting, the radial 

 vein and its sector almost entirely fuscous, the anterior margin 

 of the brown triangular spot at apical angle of corium oblique, 

 the last two dorsal segments pale with a median fuscous vitta 

 and brownish sides, venter brown with the apical margin of 

 segments 3 to 5 and the whole sixth segment pale ; antennae pale 

 testaceous, the last joint dark fuscous, rostrum colored as in R. 

 praeceps, legs stramineous, fore and middle femora finely dotted 

 with brown, an annulation before apex of hind femora and ex- 

 treme apex of all tibise brown, last tarsal joint black; puncta- 

 tion as in R. praeceps, but the impunctate spot on the propleura 

 and the mesopleura lacking. Head porrect, not declivous, but 

 with the upper side longitudinally a little convex, the callosity 

 between the bucculse and eyes straight, longitudinal, first joint 

 of antennae not quite reaching apex of head, second four times 

 longer than first and one-half longer than width of. head across 

 eyes, third subequal to second, fourth linear, distinctly thicker 

 than the two preceding ones-, but not thicker than the first, ros- 

 trum extended far beyond the center of the venter, its first joint 

 reaching middle of presternum. Pronotum with the posterior 

 lobe longitudinally somewhat convex, the anterior part of the lobe 

 moderately declivous, the anterior lobe, including the collar, very 

 slightly declivous. Abdomen impunctate, beneath less convex 

 and compressed than in R. praeceps. First joint of hind tarsi 

 a little longer than the other two together. 



Length, female, 5 millimeters, inclusive of membrane, 6. 



Luzon, Laguna, Mount Banahao. 



Differs from the preceding species (apart from other 

 characters) by the much less declivous head and pronotum, the 

 shorter first antennal joint, and the much longer rostrum; but 

 it is unquestionably congeneric. 



Genus RHIOPHILA novum 



Body oval, its greatest height on a line with the pronotal 

 humeral angles, from which point it is strongly, convexly 

 declivous to the apex of the head and distinctly though much 

 less sloping to the apex of the abdomen. Head viewed from 

 below or straight from above, nearly three times broader than 

 long, viewed obliquely from before and above, transversely 

 rhomboidal; vertex flattened, two and a half times broader than 

 an eye, clypeus a little longer then juga, eyes transverse and
