Luzon, Benguet, Baguio (0. Schutze). 



Named in honor of its collector. 



Alcides taylori sp. nov. Plate I, fig. 9. 



Robust, subcylindrical, castaneous brown. Rostrum moder- 

 ately long, densely and irregularly punctured and rugose, and 

 beset with scattered scales. Antenna with the second funicular 

 joint longest. Vertex of head smooth. Prothorax slightly con- 

 stricted anteriorly, closely and coarsely granulate, except at the 

 apex. Scutellum rounded and slightly elevated. Elytra a little 

 broader than the prothorax, coarsely punctate-striate, the punc- 

 tures large and somewhat square, interstices rugose. The apex 

 evenly rounded. A narrow creamy white stripe arising from 

 the apex of the prothorax somewhat laterad, running obliquely 

 to the base. This stripe is continued on the elytra, becoming 

 somewhat broader and extending to behind the middle of each 

 lateral margin, where it becomes expanded and confluent with 

 an arched transverse band. The band is interrupted at the 

 strise crossings. Underside and legs are densely punctured and 

 beset with scattered scales, especially the abdominal segments. 

 The tooth of the anterior femora is very small; the one on 

 the medial and posterior femora is more pronounced. 



Length, 14 millimeters (without rostrum). 



Width, 5.8 millimeters. • 



MiNDORO, Mansalay (Edward H. Taylor). Type in my col- 

 lection. 



I take pleasure in naming this species in honor of its collector. 



In general aspect this species seems to be related to forms 

 like A. kirschii Pasc. ;" from the preceding Philippine species 

 it is easily recognized by the sculptural differences. 



Alcides taylori subsp. panayensis subsp. nov. 



This subspecies differs from A. taylori in the following sec- 

 ondary characters: Thorax with a rather faint creamy white 

 medial line across the disk from the anterior to the posterior 

 margin and a well-pronounced narrow stripe at each lateral 

 margin. On the elytra at the junction of the longitudinal stripe 

 with the arched band the former is continued as a narrower 

 stripe to the apical triangle and terminates in a V-shaped mark. 



Panay, Antique, Culasi {R. C. McGregor). 



Several specimens of this interesting subspecies were collected 

 by my friend Mr. McGregor in the mountains near Culasi.
