the red colour covers riearly the whole hinder disk, in some 

 individuals even extending upwards beyond the median line. 



2. MoNOLEPTA CuMiNGii. Aiiguste ovata, postice paullo ampHata, 

 convexa, rufo flava, nitida, antennarum articuhs intermediis ultimique 

 apice, tibiis tarsisque nigris ; tliorace quam longo vix dimidio latiore, 

 subcylindrico, disco paullo deplanato ; elytris minute punctatis, nigris, 

 utrisque macula parva basali dimidioque postico sanguineis. Long. 

 3 lin. 



Mas. Elytro utroque callo subhumerali, hoc medio fovea rotundata, 



profunde impresso, instructo. 

 Hab. Philippine Islands, Manilla. 



Encarpae and lower face pale flavous. Antennae filiform, the 

 third joint twice the length of the second ; the three lower ones 

 rufo-flavous, the fourth to the seventh black ; the four outer 

 joints, the black apex of the apical one excepted, white. Thorax 

 nearly one half broader than long ; sides straight and very 

 slightly diverging from the base to beyond the middle, thence 

 slightly converging to the apex, the hinder angle acute, the 

 anterior one slightly produced into an obtuse tubercle ; disk 

 subcylindrical, very minutely punctured, the puncturing only 

 visible under a strong lens. Elytra convex, not excavated below 

 the basilar space, finely and rather closely punctured. Each 

 elytron in the 6 with a large subhumeral callus, in the centre of 

 which is a round fovea. 



The narrow subcylindrical thorax in both sexes will at once 

 eparate the present species from its allies ; the also may be at 

 once known by the small size and difterent shape of the elytral 

 fovea. 



3. MoNOLEPTA FOVEicoLLis. Ovata, postice ampliata, convexa, 

 flava, nitida, pedibus rufo-testaceis, antennarum articulis intermediis 

 nigris ; thorace transverso, disci medio transversim excavato ; elytris 

 tenuiter punctatis, nigris, apice sanguineis. Long. 3^ lin. 

 Mas. Elytro utroque fovea magna ovata, disco externo ante medium 



posita, profunde impresso. 

 Hah. Batchian {Wallace) : a single specimen.

 the base to the middle, thence rounded and converging to the apex, 

 apical angle produced into a flattened obtuse tubercle; disk
