coarsely, imbricately granulate, becoming smoother near apex, 
sparsely clothed with short inconspicuous hairs and each elytron 
with a transverse band of white pubescence at the apical third 
and a similar band at tip. Body beneath dark aeneous; pro- 
sternum sparsely and coarsely rugose, finely granulate between 
the rugae and sparsely pubescent; prosternal lobe broad, very 
broadly rounded and fully truncate in front ; intercoxal process 
broad, sides parallel, with the edge strongly, abruptly elevated 
along the coxae, abruptly narrowed at tip; propleura punctate, 
feebly reticulate and sparsely pubescent; metasternum strongly, 
transversely strigose, with fine punctures along the edge of the 
strigae, sparsely pubescent. Abdomen sparsely and coarsely 
strigose at base, becoming more densely, finely strigose and 
punctate at the sides, sparsely pubescent; first ventral segment 
convex, not impressed nor conspicuously pubescent; last ventral 
broadly and feebly, transversely concave, the apex acutely, but 
not deeply emarginate at middle ; vertical portions not conspic- 
uously pubescent; pygidium punctate and carinate at middle, 
the carina not projecting at apex. Hind tarsi very short, one- 
fourth as long as the tibiae, first joint slightly longer than the 
second ; all of the tibiae nearly straight, without a distinct mucro ; 
hind femora not as robust as in A. subpubescens ; claws similar 
on all tarsi, strongly cleft, the lower portions incurved, but with 
the points distant. 
Length, 5 millimeters; width, 1.7. 
Described from three specimens, which are probably all males. 
The type is from Davao, Mindanao ( Baker 8313). One para- 
type from the same locality and another from Zamboanga, Min- 
danao {Baker). 
This species is closely allied to A. subpubescens but can be 
easily distinguished from that species by the white pubescent 
band on the elytra, the broadly rounded prosternal, lobe, and by 
having the sides of the intercoxal process abruptly elevated 
along the coxae. 
Agrilus subpubescens sp. nov. 
Form short, rather robust, color entirely greenish blue, some 
examples with a purplish tinge on the elytra. 
Antennae cupreous, with the basal joints more or less aeneous, 
reaching to basal third of pronotum, serrate from the fourth 
joint. Head with the front nearly flat, widest at clypeus, then 
gradually narrowed posteriorly; vertex and occiput slightly im- 
pressed ; surface strongly rugose, the rugae becoming less distinct
