from very minute granules, near apex with four spines, the 

 first (proximal) of which is longer than the others; first joint 

 of hind tarsi at least two and one-half times longer than the 

 others united. 



Length, male, 6 millimeters; width, 2. 



Luzon, Laguna, Mount Maquiling. 



Allied to the preceding species, but much larger and — apart 

 from the color-differences — with differently constructed anten- 

 nae, less sharply defined pronotum, longer posterior pronotal 

 lobe and hind metatarsus, distinctly punctured venter, differently 

 armed front femora, etc. 



Lethaeus robustus sp. nov. 



Broadly elliptical, opaque above, black, lateral margins of 

 pronotum, two transverse spots to collar, the short median 

 pronotal keel, an oblique slightly curved vitta extended from 

 the humeral angles, gradually somewhat deviating from the 

 margins, to a little beyond middle of pronotum, a fascia uniting 

 these vittse, posterior angles of propleura, three short streaks 

 to clavus (two near middle, the third near scutellar apex), 

 exterior vein and commissure of clavus, veins of corium, some 

 slight mottlings near middle of exocorium, an oblong irregular 

 spot in basal half of mesocorium, and epipleura of corium ochra- 

 ceous, a broad anteriorly sinuate costal spot behind middle of 

 exocorium, a smaller subapical spot in outer apical cell of meso- 

 corium and some mottlings in its inner apical cell white, all 

 ochraceous and white macular markings punctate with black, 

 membrane dark ochraceous, largely suffused with fuliginous, 

 veins black, the second dirty whitish in its curved basal part; 

 antennae fuscous-black, first joint at base and extreme apex tes- 

 taceous, apical two-thirds of third joint white (fourth wanting) ; 

 rostrum ochraceous, last joint pale castaneous ; legs black, tibiae 

 (except their spinules) and tarsi ochraceous, apex of tibiae and 

 of tarsal joints a little brownish. Head a little longer than 

 broad, narrower than half the basal width of pronotum, finely 

 and thickly punctate above and beneath, each ocellus placed in 

 a rather large irregular impunctate area inclosing a small punc- 

 tulate areolet immediately within the ocellus, anteocular part 

 more than twice longer than the rather large eyes, its apical 

 process conical with straight margins, acutangular (about 60°) ; 

 clypeus somewhat raised and convex, conspicuously longer than 

 juga, antenniferous tubercles seen from the side moderately 

 declivous, distance between eyes and base of antennae more than 

 half the length of the eyes, first joint of antennae passing apex
