long, the lateral margins also in the posterior lobe distinctly 

 and acutely carinate, anterior lobe longitudinally scarcely convex, 

 sparingly and very finely punctulate, more thickly and distinctly 

 so near apical and lateral margins, the latter slightly rounded, 

 posterior lobe subequal in length to anterior lobe but more slop- 

 ing and a little more than one-half broader than it, rather 

 coarsely and sparsely punctate with a longitudinal median 

 keel, shortly and faintly subsinuate behind the obsoletely sub- 

 dentately prominent humeral angles. Scutellum sparingly and 

 finely punctate, but rather coarsely and thickly so near the 

 lateral margins and with an impunctate median ridge in the 

 apical half. Corium (apart from the usual seriate punctation 

 along the veins) impunctate, only the exocorium sparsely 

 punctate, the few points of the large costal spot fuscous. Pectus 

 finely and sparsely punctate. Abdomen beneath with a thick 

 but very short pale sericeous pubescence. Fore femora with a 

 row of about four spines and a second row of a few, minute, acute 

 granules ; first joint of hind tarsi two and one-half times longer 

 than the others together. 



Length, male, 10 millimeters; female, 11. 



Variety. — Lateral borders of abdomen pale ochraceous except 

 at apical angles of the last three segments. 



Luzon, Laguna, Mount Maquiling. 



Apparently allied to the imperfectly described N. biplagiatus 

 Walk., but with different coloring of the antennse, pronotum, 

 scutellum, etc.; in its general aspect and coloration much re- 

 sembling the species of Metochus, a genus that in fact is more 

 related to Narbo than to Dieuches. 



Poeantius vittatus sp. nov. 



Black; lateral margins of prothorax, posterior pronotal lobe, 

 apical half of scutellum (excluding a narrow median vitta), 

 corium and clavus, posterior part of propleura and metapleura, 

 posterior margin of mesopleura, all acetabula, and lateral border 

 of second and third ventral segments and of anterior half of 

 the three following segments ochraceous; finely and thickly 

 punctured with black or brown (excluding the impunctate 

 lateral margins of prothorax and venter, a smooth narrow 

 median vitta to posterior pronotal lobe, and the acetabula), a 

 diffuse spot in basal half of corium, and a vitta extended from 

 middle of corium to its apical margin black; a short, slightly 

 oblique, longitudinal brown streak near costal margin of corium 

 behind the middle, membrane fuscous; antennae and rostrum 

 black, first antennal joint stramineous at base and apex, second
