Genus CBYPTODACTYLTJS Deyrolle 
Cryptodactylus philippinensis Saunders. 
One specimen which I take to be this species was received 
from Davao, Mindanao (Baker 835 4) . 
Genus TOXOSCELUS Deyrolle 
Toxoscelus rugicollis Saunders. 
One specimen from Kobe, Japan, received from Prof. C. F. 
Baker. 
This species was described from central Luzon, and so far 
the genus has not been reported from Japan. The specimen 
agrees with the original description in every way with the 
exception that it is of a dark bronzy color, without any pur- 
plish tinge. 
Genus HEOTOXQSCELUS novum 
Form of Toxoscelus. Head convex, with a median longitudi- 
nal groove interrupted at middle of front, feebly gibbose on 
vertex ; epistoma very narrow and separated from front of head 
by a deep, sinuate groove; cheeks unarmed; antennal cavities 
large, oblique, nearly contiguous, and situated a little distance 
from the inner margin of the eyes. Antennas short, serrate 
from the fifth joint; joints one and two robust, the second 
shorter; third and fourth more slender and about subequal in 
length; the following joints abruptly and strongly serrate on 
the inner margin. Eyes large, oval, slightly oblique and more 
feebly remote behind vertex. Pronotum wider than long, disk 
convex, with distinct lateral carina; lateral margin smooth. 
Scutellum visible. Elytra rather flat on the disk; sides sinuate 
and expanded behind the middle. Prosternum rather flat, with 
a well-developed frontal lobe, sides not grooved for insertion of 
antennae in repose. Mesosternum divided, the lateral branches 
very short and arcuate between the anterior and median coxae. 
Metasternum emarginate in front. Middle coxae not more wide- 
ly separated than the anterior ones. Posterior coxse concave 
behind, with the lateral margin strongly dilated anteriorly. 
Femora moderately flat. Tibiae straight and subcylindrical, 
the posterior ones ciliate on the posterior margin. Tarsi very 
short, the first joint not much longer than the second; claws 
appendiculate at the base. 
Genotype, Neotoxoscelus bakeri sp. nov. 
This genus resembles Toxoscelus Deyr, very closely and, su- 
perficially, would be placed in that genus. It is, however, easily
