without distinct costs, sutural margin feebly elevated behind 
the middle, with a sharply elevated carina extending from the 
humeri to the basal third; basal depressions moderately deep; 
surface subopaque, finely and densely, imbricately granulate, 
sparsely clothed with distinct, short whitish hairs. Body be- 
neath aeneous, more shining than above; prosternum finely and 
rather sparsely scabrous, nearly glabrous ; prosternal lobe 
vaguely emarginate; intercoxal process with the sides slightly 
expanded behind the coxse, then narrowed to apex, which is 
rather acute, surface feebly concave, with the sides slightly 
elevated; propleura sparsely and rather coarsely punctate; 
metasternum at sides coarsely and sparsely punctate-strigose, 
much smoother along the middle. Abdomen coarsely punctate- 
strigose on first segment, becoming rapidly finer toward apex; 
first ventral segment convex, with a very vague elevation at 
middle, not conspicuously pubescent, last segment broadly sub- 
truncate; vertical portions of the segments feebly punctate and 
nearly glabrous; pygidium feebly carinate along the median line, 
the carina not projecting. Hind tarsi nearly two-thirds as long 
as the tibke, the first joint as long as the four following joints 
united; anterior and middle tibiss feebly arcuate, mucronate at 
the inner apex, posterior tibiae simple; claws on anterior and 
middle tarsi cleft near apex, posterior claws cleft at middle, 
forming a rather broad tooth, which is not incurved. 
Length, 4 to 4.75 millimeters; width, 1 to 1.3. 
Female . — Differs from the male in having the front of head 
plumbeous, smoother and scarcely pubescent, tibiae simple, and 
by having the claws on all the feet cleft near the middle. 
Described from five males and five females. The type, allo- 
type, and one male and one female paratype from Davao, Min- 
danao (Baker ) . One male and one female from Butuan, 
Mindanao ( Baker 8312 ) ; two males and one female from Iligan, 
Mindanao (Baker 8303) ; and one female from Puerto Princesa, 
Palawan (Baker ) . 
This seems to be a rather variable species. In some of the 
specimens the vertex is slightly gibbose on each side of the 
median impression, tips of elytra separately rounded and feebly 
serrulate, the prosternal lobe scarcely emarginate in front, the 
intercoxal process flat, and some have a more coppery tinge than 
others. The male specimens from Iligan have the pronotum of 
a dark plumbeous color, with a greenish tinge along the base, 
more finely strigose and without distinct median depression, 
the elytra feebly concave along suture and with the apices
