Long. 8 mm., lat. 3.9. 
Luzon, Laguna Province, Mount Maquiling. 
The single specimen before me is unfortunately worn and 
therefore appears dull black; it is covered with sparse, dirty 
clay-colored tomentum and bristles, but in other respects is so 
different from the known species that it is easily distinguished. 
Antennse dark red, first and second joints of funicle of equal 
length, the first thicker, the third one-third shorter than second, 
somewhat shorter than fourth, the following gradually decreas- 
ing in length ; club twice as long as thick, subcylindrical ; rostrum 
with three strong dorsal carinae on basal half ; front with a deep 
linear impression; thorax transverse (5 : 6.8) and traversed by 
a median carina ; the punctures like those on metasternum, very 
coarsely and moderately dense; elytra with rows of coarse, rec- 
tangular-oblong foveolate punctures, which are as broad as the 
intervals, these with remotely seriate rough granules; hind fe- 
mora hardly extending beyond apex of elytra, their basal half 
dorsally shining, smooth; hind tibiae slightly compressed and 
curved, attenuate toward apex.

Niger, antennis tarsisque rufis, prothorace utrinque vitta, 
apice abbreviata submarginali dense, elytris variegatim parceque 
sulfureo-, corpore subter parce albido-squamosis, elytrorum

tato, carinula mediana tenui, scutello punctiforme, nigro ; elytris 
punctato-striatis, punctis latitudine paulo longioribus, subqua-

Long. 7 mm., lat. 3. 
Luzon, Mount Banahao. 
Black, antennae and tarsi red, thorax on anterior half with 
a lateral, abbreviated stripe and a speckled, sulphurous squa- 
mosity on elytra; rostrum coarsely striate-punctate, with three 
dorsal carinae, the middle limited between the eyes by an oblong 
foveola; antennae robust, the last four joints of funicle spheric, 
club more than twice as long as thick ; thorax longer than broad 
(9 : 7), sides nearly parallel in basal half, densely punctate, in 
front more sparingly so, each puncture with an erect whitish 
bristle; elytra more than one and one-half times longer than
