986, Bur. Agr. P. I., collected by C. R. Jones” and “Acc. No. 1667 
Bur. Agr. P. L, collected by C. R. Jones,” all specimens without 
any definite locality. The Bureau of Agriculture reports that 
the locality for these numbers is Lamao, Bataan Province, Luzon. 
These specimens agree with the original description with the 
exception that they are of a uniform bronzy color. 
Genus NEOSAMBUS novum 
Form of Sambus. Head strongly convex; cheeks unarmed; 
antennal cavities rather large, oblique, widely separated and 
situated a little distance from the inner margin of the eyes. An- 
tennae short, serrate from the fifth joint; joints one and two 
robust, the second shorter; third and fourth more slender and 
about subequal 'in length; following joints strongly serrate on 
the inner margin. Eyes large, oval, distinctly more remote on 
occiput than at base. Pronotum wider than long, disk uneven, 
without lateral carina ; lateral margin feebly crenulate. Scutel- 
lum visible. Elytra convex, without distinct basal depressions; 
sides sinuate and expanded behind middle. Prosternum with 
two large lobes in front, concealing the sides of the m|outh; 
deeply grooved along sides for insertion of antennae in repose. 
Intercoxal process elevated and abruptly bent downward at 
apex. Pygidium broadly projecting behind tips of elytra, 
strongly, longitudinally carinate at middle, the carina angular 
and strongly elevated. Metasternum deeply emarginate in 
front. Middle coxae not more widely separated than the anterior 
ones. Posterior coxae deeply concave behind, nearly straight in 
front, with the lateral margin strongly dilated posteriorly. 
Femora moderately flat, arcuately narrowed toward apex, the 
inner margin with a few very strong teeth. Tibiae very feebly 
arcuate and subcylindrical, the posterior one ciliate on the 
posterior margin. Tarsi very short, first joint about equal in 
length to the second; claws bifid at base, the lower portion 
touching that of the opposite side. 
Genotype, Neosambus cupricollis sp. nov. 
This genus superficially resembles Sambus Deyr., but can be 
easily separated from that genus by having the sides of the 
prosternum deeply grooved for the reception of the antennae in 
repose. In structure it is rather closely allied to the genus 
Kamosia Kerrem., from Africa, but the cheeks are unarmed 
while in that genus they are armed with a sharp tooth. In 
Neosambus the antennae are serrate from the fifth joint, while 
in Kamosia the serration begins at the fourth joint.
