edge elevated behind the middle; humeri feeble, not carinate; 
basal depressions moderately deep ; surface feebly shining, 
finely and densely, imbricately granulate, becoming rugose at 
the sides, rather densely clothed with distinct, short, semierect 
whitish pubescence, the pubescence becoming indistinct along 
the lateral margin. Body beneath aeneous, more shining than 
above; prostemum finely, rugosely punctate, feebly pubescent; 
prosternal lobe rather acutely, but not deeply, emarginate at 
middle ; intercostal process rather narrow, sides feebly broad- 
ened behind coxae, then abruptly narrowed to apex, which is 
acute; propleura with reticulate sculpture; metasternum coarse- 
ly punctate-strigose at sides, smoother at the middle, with a 
short, feeble, elongate carina on the median line. Abdomen 
at base less coarsely punctate-strigose than side of metaster- 
num, much smoother toward apex, vaguely pubescent; first 
ventral segment convex, not impressed or more pubescent than 
rest of surface; last segment obtusely rounded at apex; ver- 
tical portions of the segments not pubescent; pygidium coarsely 
punctate, carinate along median line, carina not projecting. 
Hind tarsi nearly as long as the tibiae, the first joint equal in 
length to the four following joints united; anterior and middle 
tibiae arcuate, with a mucro at the inner apex, the posterior 
simple; claws of anterior and middle tarsi cleft near apex, 
posterior claws cleft at middle forming a broad tooth. 
Length, 4.5 millimeters; width, *1.1. 
Female . — Differs from the male in having the front of head 
cupreous, prosternal lobe subtruncate at middle in front, pro- 
sternum slightly smoother, metasternum without median carina, 
tibiae simple, and the claws on all the feet cleft at the middle 
forming a broad tooth. 
Described from three males and one female. The type, which 
is a male, is from Butuan, Mindanao ( Baker 8308 ) ; allotype 
from the same locality without any number. Also two males, 
one from Dapitan, Mindanao, and the other from Baguio, 
Benguet Province, Luzon (Baker). 
The specimen from Baguio is not quite typical and differs 
from the type as follows: Pronotum entirely olivaceous bronze, 
wider and more rectangular, base and apex nearly equal in 
width, sides nearly straight, the two median depressions more 
distinct and the strigse coarser and closer; elytra smoother 
and not quite so densely pubescent; prosternal lobe more deeply 
emarginate at middle; metasternum without tooth on median 
line, and the claws more broadly toothed.
