the male the bare sutural area is more in shape like a -\- and 

 the oblique bands are reduced to a lateral spot. Underside ru- 

 gose and finely setose. Legs : Femora with a ring spot apically, 

 sparsely punctured, finely rugose and setose; tibiae coarsely ru- 

 gose and setose, with a few small tubercles on the underside. 



Female, length, 13 millimeters; width of elytra, 5.5. Male, 

 length, 11 millimeters; width of elytra, 4.5. 



Panay, Mount Macosolon. Types in my collection. 



This species and Pachyrrhynchus jugifer Waterh. were col- 

 lected together from the same plant. 



Metapocyrtus (Orthocyrtus) orbiferoides sp. nov. Plate I, fig. 7, 9 . 



Shiny black, elytra with pink scales and bare spots. Rostrum 

 irregularly scatteredly punctured, less toward the front, with a 

 large, medial, oblong triangular depression terminating in a 

 punctiform impression on the front. Prothorax as long as 

 broad, greatest width before the middle, finely and scatteredly 

 punctured. A narrow pale green scale stripe along the anterior 

 margin, continued along the lateral and posterior margin, and 

 terminating in an oblong spot, laterad of the middle at the 

 posterior margin. Elytra punctate-striate ; with pink scales, 

 except the following bare areas: At the basal half a large 

 squarish spot at the suture and another irregular spot on each 

 elytron, forming an irregular cross band. Beyond the middle 

 a series of five spots, one at the suture, and two on each elytron. 

 The former and latter sutural spots are narrowly confluent along 

 the suture. Another small bare spot at the lateral margin ap- 

 ically and another at the suture. Underside with a pale green 

 spot at the meso- and metathoracic segments laterally. Legs 

 sparsely and scatteredly punctured and finely rugose and setose. 



Length, 13.5 millimeters; width of elytra, 6.7. 



Luzon, Ilocos Norte, Mount Nagapatan. Type in my collec- 

 tion. 



This species resembles very much Pachyrrhynchus orbifer 

 Waterh. 



Metapocyrtus congestus sp. nov. Plate I, fig. 3. 



Shiny black, with large oval blue scale spots. Rostrum densely 

 and confluently punctured, with a pronounced medial depres- 

 sion. A large blue scale spot from the base to the front. The 

 latter finely and scatteredly punctured. Sides of head finely 

 rugose. Prothorax with a fine anterior submarginal and a more 

 pronounced posterior submarginal groove, and finely and sparsely 

 punctured. A large oval scale spot at the middle laterad.
