At present it is impossible to point out the definite systematic 
position of this and the following closely allied species of the 
group of Truncatipennes which are before me in only single 
specimens. Both possess strikingly short antennae, a character 
not found in any other Lebiini except Phloeodromus M’Leay. 2 
Supposing that this is a true lebiid, the male, as given by 
Chaudoir, 3 has the intermediate tibia deeply emarginate on 
inner edge near apex, an essential character which is not 
mentioned of Phloeodromus by M’Leay. This is lacking in the 
Philippine specimen, which I believe to be a male because of 
the enlarged anterior tarsi, but it differs from Phloeodromus 
in the oblong, nonmoniliform fifth to eighth joints of the an- 
tenna; the transverse, hairless (except a marginal series of five 
setigerous punctures) labrum; and the lobes of mentum forming 
mediad not a right, but an obtuse angle; moreover, these lobes 
bear an epilobium 4 and a middle tooth is wanting in the emar- 
gination of mentum; elytra very finely seriate-punctate, the 
second interval (“interstitium tertium” of Chaudoir) at the base 
before the middle with a larger, and near the apex with an ob- 
solete puncture ; spurs of tibiae minute, tarsi strong, first and sec- 
ond joints equal in length, the third trigonate, on the middle 
tarsi transverse, on the hind tarsi a little longer, claw joint 
exceeding the long bilobed fourth by half its length; claws 7- 
pectinate. * 
Phloeodromus (?) sellatus is reddish castaneous, paler on 
margin of prothorax, on legs, and especially on epipleura, which 
are yellowish. Dorsum shining, impunctate, a black spot on 
elytra extending posteriorly beyond the seventh stria, submar- 
ginal (seventh) interval broader than the preceding, like it with

4 Cf. Chaudoir, loc. cit. By this character one may be led (following 
Chaudoir) to the African genus Camaroptera, but this has much longer 
antennas, etc.
