second joint of antennae scarcely or slightly longer than first, 

 third as long as first, fourth longer and thicker than any of 

 the others. Pronotum with the anterior lobe punctulate the 

 same as the head, posterior lobe and scutellum a little less finely 

 and less thickly punctate. Elytra slightly passing the apex 

 of abdomen. Pectus and venter extremely finely and thickly 

 punctulate. 



Length, female, 2.3 to 2.5 millimeters. 



Luzon, Laguna, Los Banos; Tayabas, Malinao. 



Readily distinguished from R. dispar Walk., the only other 

 known species of the genus, by the structure and the coloring 

 of the antennge, the entirely black pronotum, and the differently 

 colored corium. 



The original description of the genus Rhodiginus Dist. is 

 inadequate, but Breddin has supplemented it with many essen- 

 tial characters. ^- 



Lispochroa laeviuscula sp. nov. 



Shining, black; humeral angles of pronotum and the adjacent 

 part of its lateral margins obscurely testaceous, elytra whitish 

 or flavo-testaceous ; corium with a broad, irregular, more or less 

 diffuse, piceous median fascia or transverse spot, which often 

 occupies the greater part of posterior half of corium ; membrane 

 whitish testaceous, suffused or variegated with fuscous, apex 

 of abdomen often pitchy brown; antennse testaceous, base of 

 first joint and fourth (often also third) piceous; rostrum and 

 legs pale testaceous, often more or less suffused with piceous. 

 Head very finely punctulate above, with a few exserted hairs, 

 antennae as long as head, pronotum, and scutellum together, 

 first joint very slightly passing apex of head, second a little longer 

 than or subequal to third, fourth as long as or somewhat longer 

 than third. Pronotum mostly impunctate, only toward the sides 

 with some scattered punctures, strongly transversely convex 

 in its anterior half, the apical collarlike lobe with the impressed 

 line terminating it posteriorly, distinct toward the sides but 

 obliterated in the middle, where this area is subconfluent with 

 the disk, the subacute lateral margins of the pronotum roundly 

 inflected at the base of the apical collar and discontinued there, 

 leaving the parallel sides of the collar vertically bluntly rounded ; 

 an upright seta arising from the margin somewhat behind the 

 collar. Scutellum finely and sparsely punctate and with a row 

 of small punctures close to the lateral margins, the basal mar-
