SIXTH CONTRIBUTION TO THE COLEOPTERA FAUNA OF THE 



PHILIPPINES 



By W. SCHULTZE 

 {Manila, P. I.) 



ONE PLATE 



The Coleoptera herein described are mainly a few of the many 

 species collected by my Filipino collector on a trip to the main 

 Cordillera of Panay Island in May, 1918, and on another trip 

 to Ilocos Norte Province, Luzon, in August, 1918. The latter 

 collection was made in the mountains at the extreme north- 

 western corner of Luzon. 



NEW SPECIES OF CURCULIONID^ 



Genus PROAPOCYRTUS novum 



Rostrum with a prominent medial groove, extending to the 

 vertex, and a strongly pronounced cross groove before the eyes. 

 Antenna with the first and second funicular joints of equal 

 length, third to seventh also equal in length, together one-fifth 

 longer than the first and second. Prothorax subcylindrical, 

 dorsally somewhat flattened, with an anterior and a posterior 

 submarginal groove. Elytra dorsally flattened, laterally strongly 

 and abruptly declined in an acute angle, apically produced, on 

 the posterior decline with prominent subsutural ridges, and the 

 apical ends of the elytra divergent. Hind femora reaching to 

 about the third fourth of the length of the elytra posteriorly. 



Type of the genus, Prowpocyrtus insularis sp. nov. 



This genus is most nearly related to Apocyrtus Erichs.,^ but it 

 is easily recognizable by the oblong oval and dorsally flattened 

 form of the elytra, against the more spherical and inflated 

 form of the above-mentioned genus. 



Proapocyrtus insularis sp. nov. Plate I, fig. 1. 



Black, with pale green scale spots. Rostrum very irregularly 

 and coarsely, front more finely, sparsely, and scatteredly punc- 

 tured. The medial groove broad, on the front and vertex fine 

 and narrow. Prothorax strongly coriaceous, with an irregular 

 medial groove. A small spot at the middle laterad and another
