Leptocentrus gazella BuCKT., Mon. Memb. (1903), 235, PI. 53, fig. 5a. 



Reported from the Philippine Islands by Banks as above. 

 The large number of easily available references makes a descrip- 

 tion unnecessary. The species shows some slight variation in 

 size, coloration, and position of pronotal horns when a large 

 series is examined. Distant's figure " is typical. I have not 

 seen Philippine material.
