ing pronotal apical margin. Pronotum two and a half times 

 broader at base than at apex, neither transversely impressed 

 nor foveately sulcate, coarsely and thickly punctate, but with 

 the cicatrical areas finely and sparingly punctulate, the carinate 

 lateral margins very slightly sinuate behind the middle, 

 separated from the disk by a regular row of punctures. 

 Scutellum coarsely and thickly punctate, the basal area a little 

 less thickly so, the Y-shaped carination smooth. Elytra slightly 

 passing apex of abdomen. Pleura coarsely and thickly punc- 

 tate. Abdomen beneath smooth and impunctate, the segmental 

 sutures deeply impressed, the glandular spots of the fourth 

 segment very small. P^ore and middle femora beneath before 

 apex with short rigid setae, hind femora with about five such 

 setae; tibiae sparsely set with slender bristlelike spines, which 

 are much less conspicuous in the front pair; hind legs rather 

 long, their femora reaching apex of abdomen, their tarsi slightly 

 longer than half the length of the tibiae, the first joint not 

 quite two times longer than the others combined. 



Length, male, 3.2 millimeters. 



Luzon, Laguna, Los Baiios. 



A well-marked species, not easily confounded with the type 

 of the genus. Breddin " gave, in his usual excellent way, a re- 

 description of the genus Lemniiis Dist. and described a new 

 species, L. inornatus. Distant later placed inornatus as a 

 synonym of L. ovatus Dist., thus indirectly admitting that his 

 description of the genus (the "cruciform" scutellar carination, 

 the "straight" apical margin of the corium, etc.) was quite 

 wrong in several points, and his figure faulty. Apart from the 

 corrections made by Breddin, the antennae are represented in 

 Distant's figure as inserted midway between the eyes and the 

 apex of the head, whereas they really are inserted immediately 

 before the eyes. The genus is allied to Coracodrymus Bredd., 

 with which it has several particulars in common. 



Rhodiginus pullatus sp. nov. 



Black, covered with an extremely short dusty grayish 

 pubescence, somewhat less than the basal half of corium, espe- 

 cially in its interior part, pale cinereous, remainder of corium 

 either entirely fuscous or somewhat variegated with testaceous, 

 membrane hyaline; antennae testaceous, first joint and apex of . 

 second whitish; rostrum testaceous, basal joint piceous; legs 

 whitish testaceous. Head very thickly and finely punctulate,
