Agriius manilensis sp. nov. 
Male . — Form small, elongate, and rather slender, color oliva- 
ceous bronze, head and legs green. 
Antennae brassy, with the outer joints cupreous, reaching 
nearly to the posterior angles of pronotum, serrate from the 
fourth joint. Head with the front narrow and slightly convex, 
the sides strongly narrowed from occiput to clypeus; vertex 
and occiput broadly, longitudinally impressed, causing the sides to 
become slightly gibbose; surface dull, finely and very densely 
granulate, with a few sparsely placed indistinct punctures, finely, 
longitudinally rugose on occiput and densely clothed along eyes 
and behind clypeus with long yellowish pubescence, the pubescent 
areas not granulate but finely punctate; clypeus small, slightly 
wider than long, front margin nearly truncate. Pronotum one- 
half wider than long, slightly narrower at base than apex ; sides 
slightly arcuate from apex to base ; lateral margin nearly straight 
when viewed laterally; hind angles rectangular, with a well- 
defined, slightly arcuate carina, the carina reaching lateral mar- 
gin at about the apical third; disk convex, with a moderately 
deep median depression divided into two parts, without distinct 
lateral depression; surface rather finely, transversely strigose, 
the intervals broad, sparsely and finely punctate, from each 
puncture arises a short inconspicuous hair. Scutellum not very 
wide, sharply, transversely carinate. Elytra feebly narrowed 
to middle, behind which is a slight dilatation, then obliquely 
narrowed to apices, which are obtusely rounded and indistinctly 
serrulate; sides of abdomen visible from above; disk flattened, 
without distinct costae, sutural edge elevated from apical third; 
humeri feeble, not carinate; basal depressions moderately deep 
and extending obliquely from behind the humeri to the suture; 
surface shining, rather finely and densely, imbricately granulate, 
smoother near apex, and rather densely clothed with distinct, 
short, yellowish, recumbent pubescence, but not concealing 
the surface sculpture. Body beneath piceous, with greenish 
metallic luster; prosternum finely rugose and feebly pubescent, 
with a longitudinal carina along middle extending into a blunt 
tooth between coxae; prosternal lobe broadly rounded and 
subtruncate at middle; intercoxal process broad, sides strongly 
expanded behind coxae, then abruptly narrowed to apex, which 
is obtuse ; propleura with reticulate sculpture and feebly 
pubescent; metasternum finely punctate, strigose at the sides, 
the middle with a distinct, blunt, elongate tooth. Abdomen 
coarsely punctate and feebly strigose near base, smoother poste-
