Width, 5 millimeters. 



MiNDORO, Mansalay {Edward H. Taylor). Type in my 

 collection. 



Alcides luzonensis sp. nov. Plate I, fig. 7. 



Subcylindrical, robust, glossy bluish black. Rostrum rather 

 short, finely and sparsely punctured at the apex, coarsely and 

 densely punctured laterally and at the base. A medial carina 

 in the basal half terminating in a depression between the eyes. 

 Vertex of head very finely variolosely punctured. Prothorax 

 closely and coarsely punctured, especially toward the lateral mar- 

 gins. A white band at the fore margin interrupted discally 

 and a posterior marginal band. Elytra striate-punctate, less 

 pronounced than in the preceding species, the interstices finely 

 rugose. A combination of white lines, forming on each elytron 

 a figure like the letter X, the anterior tangents of which are 

 longer than the posterior. The discal anterior tangents arise 

 at the base next to the slightly raised scutellum. The two 

 posterior discal tangents, which are rather short, form a curved 

 transverse band behind the middle. A straight subsutural line 

 in the apical third of each elytron recurved along the lateral 

 margin and confluent -with the posterior lateral tangent. Under- 

 side closely punctured, prothorax beset with whitish scales, lat- 

 eral margins of meso- and metathorax and abdominal segments 

 with white spots, forming a band. Legs glossy, irregularly 

 punctured. 



Length, 11.5 millimeters (without rostrum). 



Width, 4.5 millimeters. 



Luzon, Laguna, Paete (W. Schultze). Type in my collection. 



Alcides tagalicus sp. nov. Plate I, fig. 6. 



Subcylindrical, slender, dark castaneous brown. Rostrum, 

 apical half impunctate, basal half coarsely and confluently punc- 

 tured, a carina terminating in a shallow depression, very finely 

 setose. Vertex of head minutely punctured. Prothorax very 

 coarsely and confluently punctured, except at the apical area. 

 An ocherous white discal lateral line from the anterior to the 

 posterior margin. The same is spotlike, expanded at the ante- 

 rior margin, and slightly curved. Scutellum roundish, with a 

 punctiform depression. Elytra striate-punctate, the interstices 

 very rugose. The combination of bands very similar to A. luzon- 

 ensis, but more elongated. The bands at the base are continued 

 along the margin, terminating in a spotlike expansion at the
