anterior lobe one-half longer than posterior lobe, impunctate, 

 with a transverse row of fine punctures, laterally blunt, not 

 dentately produced outward, posterior lobe irregularly, sparsely 

 punctate, with two paler vittse less punctate. Scutellum (ex- 

 cept the Y-shaped elevation) finely punctulate. Corium irreg- 

 ularly, rather sparsely and finely punctate in the exocorium and 

 exterior apical part of mesocorium, an oblong spot near inner 

 apical angle impunctate. Pectus finely and rather thickly punc- 

 tate. Fore femora almost fusiformly incrassate, their greatest 

 width being but little farther from apex than from base, armed 

 beneath with two rows of spines, the inner row reaching from 

 apex to a little beyond middle, the outer row extended only 

 through the apical fourth ; fore tibiae unarmed. 



Length, male, 5.3 millimeters. 



Mindanao, Surigao. 



This species differs from the others by the exteriorly parallel, 

 not divergent antenniferous tubercles, the shorter first anten- 

 nal joint, and the laterally blunt, not dentately prominent, 

 pronotum. It might be regarded as subgenerically distinct, 

 but it is in all essential characters a Pamermia, and there can be 

 little doubt that forms intermediate between this species and 

 the others will be detected in the future. 



Narbo metochoides sp. nov. 



Dull black; membrane and venter dark fuscous; two median 

 spots and apex of scutellum, a small round median spot to 

 corium, basal half of its costal margin, a large costal spot almost 

 reaching apical margin somewhat before the apical angle, a small 

 spot at outer basal angle of membrane, its apex, a few speckles 

 on the basal part of its veins, and an oblong lateral basal spot 

 to fourth and fifth abdominal segments pale ochraceous; the 

 lateral keel of prothorax, veins of corium in the basal half, and 

 the median part of its apical margin more or less obscurely 

 ferruginous; antennae, rostrum, and legs testaceous; first 

 antennal joint fuscous, apex of second (narrowly) and of third 

 (more broadly) , and fourth joint fuscous-black, the latter with 

 a broad subbasal whitish annulation, last rostral joint and coxae 

 black, front femora (except base) and more than apical half of 

 middle and hind femora castaneous or fuscous, apex of tibiae 

 and of first tarsal joint, and the whole third joint fuscous. Head 

 impunctate, as broad as anterior pronotal lobe, antennae a little 

 longer than body, second joint one-half longer than first, third 

 slightly shorter than second, fourth as long as second, rostrum 

 barely reaching middle coxae. Pronotum slightly broader than
