This species was first reported from the Philippines by C. S. 

 Banks, who collected it at Montalban, near Manila, and also 

 recorded it from Palawan.

In both sexes of this species the greatest width of the prono- 

 tum is before the middle. The first two antennal joints and the 

 tarsi are often darker than in Distant's type, and the second 

 antennal joint is sometimes only as long as the third. The meso- 

 sternum has a percurrent median impression. The orificia are 

 directed obliquely forward, slightly curved, passing middle of 

 metapleura. The venter of the male is, as in the males of the 

 other species, subcarinate in the middle. The front femora, 

 in the male, are still more incrassate than in the female; but 

 they are somewhat variable in shape, being broadly pyriform 

 or sometimes subrectangular in outline, while in the female they 

 are subtriangular. The hind femora are armed beneath with a 

 few very small spinules. Distant's figure of the species is 

 very good. 



Macropes lacertosus sp. no v. 



Black, including antennae, rostrum, and legs; tarsi usually 

 and venter, first antennal joint, and apex of femora sometimes 

 paler. Elytra with the following white markings: A streak in 

 apical half of clavus, a costal spot before middle of corium (not 

 quite reaching its interior margin but outwardly extended into 

 the epipleura), interior margin of corium (except near base), 

 an oblong spot at exterior basal angle of membrane, a similar 

 spot opposite at the interior margin, a smaller spot before middle 

 of membrane, a very small spot at its interior basal angle (rarely, 

 linearly, somewhat produced along the interior margin), and 

 usually also apical border of membrane. Antennae somewhat
