basal half, at the apical fourth the transverse band from lateral 
margin to median part, then bent abruptly forward to suture 
at apical third, and the entire apical fifth except for an inclosed 
oblong dark area. Beneath nearly smooth, except median part 
of first two abdominal segments, which are longitudinally 
grooved, densely, finely punctate, and clothed with a row of 
dense erect hairs. 
Length, 4 millimeters ; width, 1.25. 
Described from a single specimen from Mount Maquiling, 
Luzon {Baker). 
Sambus confusus sp. nov. 
Small, rather slender, entirely bright aeneous above, except 
front of head, which is bright green, becoming slightly bronzy 
on the occiput, rather evenly clothed with short, pale yellow, 
recumbent hairs, but not forming distinct designs; beneath 
bright brassy green, clothed with silvery white pubescence. 
Head flat in front, rather deeply grooved on vertex and oc- 
ciput, slightly rugose, finely, densely granulate and evenly 
clothed with moderately long white pubescence ; antennae green- 
ish, reaching to middle of pronotum; clypeal suture distinct; 
epistoma wide, transverse between the antennae. Pronotum 
much wider than long, a little narrower behind than in front; 
sides slightly flattened and regularly arcuate, with the, lateral 
margin crenulate ; anterior margin slightly bisinuate, the 
median lobe nearly straight and the anterior angles advanced 
forward and acute; base bisinuate, with a broadly rounded 
median lobe in front of scutellum ; lateral carina slightly arcuate, 
nearly parallel with the lateral margin and reaching from base 
near posterior angle to the apical fourth; disk convex, with 
a rather deep depression on inside of lateral carina, reaching 
from base to median part; surface slightly rugose, densely 
punctate and densely clothed with short, yellow, recumbent 
hairs. Scutellum large, triangular; surface finely reticulate. 
Elytra at base about equal in width to pronotum, rather convex, 
without any distinct depressions; sides nearly parallel to mid- 
dle, slightly expanded at apical third, then arcuately attenuate 
to tips, which are separately rounded and finely dentate; 
surface finely rugose and rather densely clothed with short, pale 
yellow, recumbent pubescence, forming very indistinct trans- 
verse zigzag bands near apex. Abdomen sparsely, finely 
punctate.
