NEW PHILIPPINE COLEOPTERA

In continuation of my studies upon the coleopterous fauna 
of the Philippine Islands I describe, in the present paper, 
further new species and varieties, for the greater part of which 
I am indebted to Prof. C. F. Baker, dean of the College of Agri- 
culture, Los Banos. These species are recorded herein without 
indication of the name of collector; but, where a species is 
represented by more than one specimen, the number that cor- 
responds with other specimens at Professor Baker’s disposal 
is given. 
Besides this important and excellent collection, I have had 
in hand for some time a part of the material belonging to the 
Bureau of Science, Manila, which I shall work up later. Among 
the latter is a weevil, imported with seeds from Australia 
into the Philippine Islands, which I believe is new; this is de- 
scribed, as are also some other Malayan Curculionidae that are 
so nearly allied to Philippine species that their inclusion here 
seemed desirable. Moreover, it was necessary to erect a new 
Australian genus Riboseris upon Petosiris pars and to correct 
the systematic position of my Endymia apicalis 1 which is a 
Blepiarda. 
The following is a list of the new species dealt with in this 
paper, those marked with an asterisk being extra-Philippine. 
For practical reasons the families are not arranged in strictly
