clothed with a few long yellow hairs behind the clypeus. Cly- 
peus wider than long, with the front margin nearly truncate. 
Pronotum one-third wider than long, distinctly narrower at 
base than apex ; sides nearly straight in front, sinuate posteriorly ; 
lateral margin very nearly straight when viewed laterally; hind 
angles rectangular, with a well-defined, slightly arcuate carina, 
the carina extending to lateral margin near middle ; disk 
strongly convex, with a feeble lateral depression and another 
similar one in front of scutellum ; surface coarsely, closely, 
transversely strigose, the intervals between the strigse finely 
and sparsely punctate. Scutellum transversely carinate. Ely- 
tra strongly sinuate behind the humeri, with the postmedian 
dilatation nearly entirely concealing the sides of abdomen from 
above, strongly narrowed to the apices; each elytron rather 
feebly, arcuately emarginate at tip, the angles produced into 
short spines, which are equal in length, outer edge of elytron 
near apex smooth; disk rather flat, without distinct costae, 
sutural edge gradually elevated from the basal fourth, becoming 
quite distinct behind the middle; humeri rather prominent, not 
carinate; basal depressions rather feeble; surface subopaque, 
finely, densely granulate-scabrous, and sparsely clothed with 
short, white, recumbent hairs, which do not conceal the surface 
sculpture. Body beneath aeneous, more shining than above; 
prosternum densely, roughly scabrous, without pubescence ; 
prosternal lobe acutely and rather deeply emarginate at middle ; 
intercoxal process broad, sides nearly parallel, abruptly nar- 
rowed to apex, which is acute; propleura coarsely punctate, 
slightly strigose, not pubescent; metasternum closely punctate 
and strongly reticulate, without conspicuous pubescence. Ab- 
domen finely and rather closely punctate, distinctly strigose at 
base, with fine punctures along the edge of the strigse, nearly 
glabrous ; first ventral segment convex, not impressed nor pubes- 
cent; last ventral feebly truncate at apex, with few feeble as- 
perities posteriorly; vertical portions not conspicuously pubes- 
cent; pygidium punctate, subacute at apex, the carina well 
marked, but not projecting at tip. Hind tarsi a little more 
than half as long as tibiee, first joint distinctly longer than 
the four following joints united; all tibiae nearly straight, not 
mucronate at tip; claws similar on all the tarsi, divaricate, 
broadly toothed at base, the lower portion not incurved. 
Length, 6 millimeters; width, 1.8. 
Described from a unique female from Mount Maquiling, Luzon 
(Baker ) .
