is, i Fisher: New Coleoptera from the Philippines 401 
edge elevated behind the middle, humeral carina short, in- 
distinct posteriorly; basal depressions moderately deep; surface 
subopaque, finely and densely, imbricately granulate, rather 
densely clothed with short, white, inconspicuous hairs. Body 
beneath more shining and greenish than above; prosternum 
finely, densely scabrous, sparsely clothed along middle with long 
suberect pubescence ; prosternal lobe wide, broadly, subtruncate 
in front; intercoxal process very abruptly expanded behind the 
coxse, the apex wide and deeply biemarginate ; propleura finely, 
sparsely punctate and slightly strigose; metasternum densely 
and coarsely punctate-strigose. Abdomen less densely punctate- 
strigose than metasternum, the strigae becoming finer posteriorly, 
coarsely pubescent; first ventral segment convex, not impressed 
or conspicuously pubescent; last segment feebly emarginate at 
apex; vertical portion of the segments evenly, sparsely pubes- 
cent; pygidium finely punctate, carinate along the median line, 
the carina not projecting at apex. Hind tarsi about one-half as 
long as the tibiae, the first joint about as long as the two following 
joints united, anterior tibiae with a feeble mucro at the tip, the 
middle and posterior simple; femora feebly, abruptly narrowed 
near apex; claws of anterior and middle tarsi cleft near apex, 
posterior claws cleft near middle forming a rather long, acute 
tooth, which is not incurved. 
Length, 4 millimeters; width, 1.75. 
Female . — Very similar to the male, but differs from it by 
having the front of head more coppery, antennae a little shorter, 
prosternum not quite as pubescent at middle, tibiae simple, and 
the claws on all the tarsi cleft at middle, forming a long, acute 
tooth. 
The type, which is a male, is from Davao, Mindanao ( Baker 
8360 ) ; allotype from Iligan, Mindanao ( Baker 8305 ) . Other 
specimens without numbers collected by Baker are as follows: 
Another male from the type locality, a male from Zamboanga, 
Mindanao; a male from Mount Banahao, Luzon; and a female 
from Puerto Princesa, Palawan. The last specimen is provision- 
ally referred to this species. 
In some of the specimens the front margin, of the clypeus is 
nearly truncate. The specimen from Palawan is not quite 
typical and may represent another species, but for the present 
it is placed with this species. It has the front of the head 
nearly smooth and very densely clothed with long yellowish 
pubescence behind the clypeus, the pronotum less depressed on 
the median line, and the claws a little more sharply cleft.
