i9, 6 Heller: New Philippine Coleoptera 545 
breviter ovatis, apice productis, sutura utrinque ante declivitatem 
subtuberculata, thorace distinctius partem subseriato-punctatis, 
stria extrema basi margine remota, post coxas posticas marginali 
ac seriato-punctata ; femoribus posticis elytrorum apicem vix 
attingentibus. 
Long. 16 mm., lat. 6. 
Luzon. 
Because of its glossy black dorsum this species reminds one 
of Metapocyrtus politus Heller, 25 though it is allied to Macrocyr- 
tus negrito Heller 26 and perhaps in freshly preserved specimens 
also shows a sparse, bluish, squamigerous marbling on the elytra 
like that species, but differs from it by the longer, nearly paral- 
lel-sided thorax, the triangular dorsal impression of rostrum, 
the tubercles upon suture before the declivity in the female, and 
other characters. 
Kothapocyrtus basifasciatus sp. nov. 
N. chloromaculato Heller affinis, sed major ac angustior, ni- 
tidus, obscure rufo-castaneus, elytris fascia basali, gutta utrin- 
que apicali, vitta postmediana marginali, ut corpore subter vitta 
supra coxas anticas et macula utrinque in meso- et metasterno, 
cobaltino-squamosis ; prothorace vix perspicue punctato elytris 
elongato-ovatis tenuissime, in dimidia parte posteriore evanes- 
cente, duabus externis distinctius, seriato-punctatis ; pedibus 
rufis, femoribus posticis elytrorum apice superantibus. 
Long. 11 mm., lat. 4.5. 
Luzon, Nueva Vizcaya Province, Imugan. 
Allied to N. chloromaculatus Heller but slenderer; elytra 
elongate elliptic, in basal half with four to six rows of fine 
punctures, in apical half with two distinct punctate submarginal 
striae, a broad crossband at base, a small marginal dot behind 
middle, and a round patch before apex; a stripe above anterior 
coxae and sides of metasternum cobalt-blue scaled. 
This and the following species are similar in general facies 
to N. luzonicus Schultze. 27 The first differs from N. luzonicus 
by the obliterated rows of punctures posteriorly, and the cross- 
band instead of a spot of cobalt blue scales on base of elytra; 
N. subpilosulus differs in having a distinctly punctured protho- 
rax, which shows a central furrow in the basal half and wants 
the scale spots on elytra mentioned by Schultze.
