19, 6 Heller: New Philippine Coleoptera 537 
Mindanao, Davao Province, Davao (7171). 
Because of the greenish elytra which show two white cross- 
bands, interrupted by the suture, this variety makes so striking 
an impression that attention may be drawn to it by the above 
name. 
Planodes simplicicornis sp. nov. Plate 1, fig. 13. 
Niger, an tennis articulis tres basalibus, tertii parte apicali 
nigro excepto, ut vitta mediana in vertice, carinato, pallide 
ochraceo-, prothorace vitta lata mediana, altera tenuissima sub- 
laterali signaturisque vermiculosis in elytris cinereo-tomento- 
sis; antennis articulo tertio apice haud spinoso; prothorace 
subtransverso in parte mediano griseo subconcavo, remote 
punctato, utrinque transverse rugoso; elytris dorso deplanatis, 
singulis carinula mediana obsoleta, ad basin seriato-subgranoso- 
punctata, apice oblique sinuato-truncatis ; corpore subter griseo-, 
linea laterali, sub oculos incipiente ac usque ad abdominis apicem 
continuata albido-tomentosa, mesosterno inter coxas intermedias 
tuberculato. 
Long. 18 mm., lat. 6. 
Mindanao, Zamboanga Province, Zamboanga. 
In spite of the extraordinary resemblance of this species to 
the known species of the genus, especially to Planodes tubercu- 
latus Pasc., it may perhaps later form a new genus distinguished 
by the absence of a spine on apex of third antennal joint; by the 
singly and obliquely truncate, lightly convex apical margin of 
elytra; and by the intercoxal tubercle in front of intermediate 
coxse. Tomentum on head, on first and second antennal joints, 
and on basal half of third light ochraceous, on basal half of 
fourth whitish, on the remaining joints black; prothorax slightly 
transverse, gray like the vermiculated marking of elytra, the 
latter constricted by four subquadrate, black patches to a cruci- 
form dorsal marking; vertex with a fine but sharp median 
carinula ; prothorax slightly concave on disk, on each side trans- 
versely wrinkled and remotely punctate; scutellum semicircular, 
black ; each elytron in the posterior part with a remote and finely 
seriate-punctate carina which in the basal half is only indicated 
by a row of denser seriate-granulate punctures ; underside gray, 
with a white lateral stripe, and as broad as meta-epistema, 
beginning under eye and extending to apex of abdomen ; caudal 
margin of sternites shining reddish on each side.
