a few, very minute, indistinct punctures; the punctures of the 
marginal series also proportionately minute. 
PMoeodronms (?) hastatus sp. nov. Plate 1, fig. 2. 
Praecedenti affinis, sed paulo minor, prothorace latiore late- 
ribus in parte posteriore, convergenti, rectis ; elytris plus elonga- 
tis, interstitio septimo sexto haud multo latiore, post medium 
macula suturali, in fronte bilobata, apice acuminata, utrinque 
striam tangente ac sagittae mucrone simili nigra. 
Long. 8 mm., lat. 3. 
Mindanao, Davao Province, Davao (72^3). 
Closely allied to P. sellatus and of the same color, but pro- 
thorax broader, its lateral margin in the posterior, converging 
part straight ; elytra more elongate, the penultimate interval not 
broader than the sixth, the black sutural spot hastate, as shown 
in Plate 1, fig. 2.

The single specimen before me does not permit a sufficiently 
careful examination of the mouthparts; but as far as the other 
characters indicate, the species described here can be placed in 
8 By this character Hoplomenes pertains to the Sarothrocrepidse Chaudoir, 
Bull. Soc. Nat. Moscow 51 (1876) 2, but the single American genus of this 
family has the claws pectinate only in the broader basal half, and the fourth 
tarsal joint roundish bilobate.
