lunulate, tomentose like the thoracic spots; hind border of the 
grayish crossband concave, beginning externally above posterior 
edge of second sternite ; punctures of punctate series remote, much 
serried on the tomentose parts of elytra ; second and ninth series 
extending nearly to apical margin, approaching each other on 
apical part, third and eighth series confluent at apex; venter 
shining, scarcely punctate, middle of first sternite more distinct- 
ly and remotely punctate, middle of prosternum, entire meso- 
sternum, medially swollen metasternum, and first, third, fourth, 
and fifth sternites grayish pubescent on the sides ; tooth of inter- 
mediate and posterior femora on its distal edge minutely bi- 
or tridenticulate ; anterior tibia with a strong tooth behind 
the middle of its inner edge. 
Aleides aeratus sp. nov., $ . 
Nitido-aeneus, prothorace, similiter ut in praecedenti, maculis 
punctiformibus, sed densius ac albidotomentosis, elytris 15 simi- 
libus atque duabus minimis apicalibus, ornatis, una suturali in 
primo triente, utrinque duabus subsuturalibus ad declivitatem, 
una basali, inter striam tertiam et sextam, altera, subtrans- 
versa, .spatium 3 ad 6 occupante, et tribus marginalibus, in 
primo, secundo et tertio triente ; striis omnino punctis aequaliter 
dense seriatis; corpore subter ut in chalcomorpho, sed densius 
ac albido-tomentoso. 
Long. 9.5 mm., lat. 4.5. 
Mindanao, Surigao Province, Surigao. 
Shining bronze-colored; antennse and tarsi black; prothorax 
similar to Aleides chalcomorphus, but five tomentose spots white 
and a little more strongly punctate; elytra with fifteen similar 
spots and two very minute apical spots, a large one on each side 
at base between third and sixth striae, three smaller submarginal 
spots in the first, second, and third intervals, two subsutural 
ones on the declivity, one in the disk on third, fourth, and fifth 
intervals, and a common, somewhat larger one in the first 
third of suture ; punctures of elytral series equidistantly approx- 
imate on the tomentose parts only, the same as in Aleides 
chalcomoi'phus , ninth and tenth stripes much more impressed 
at base than in this species; on the underside those parts are 
white tomentose, but the metasternum has a white lateral spot 
in the posterior half only; femora dentate as in A. chalcomorphus, 
the inner edge of intermediate tibiae slightly enlarged in the 
first third.
