434 The Philippine Journal of Science mi 
culture gives Lamao, Bataan Province, Luzon, as the locality for 
this number. 
This species is closely allied to T. viridula Kerrem., but can be 
at once distinguished from that species by the tarsal joints being 
black instead of yellow; the pubescence on elytra consisting of 
white and yellow hairs, while in viridula they are white and dark 
brown, and also by being a little more robust. 
Trachys viridula Kerremans. 
This species is represented in the United States National Mu- 
seum collection by three specimens labeled “Acc. No. 996, Bur. 
Agri., P. I., collected by C. R. Jones,” without a definite 
locality. The Bureau of Agriculture gives Lamao, Bataan Prov- 
ince, Luzon, as the locality for this number. Another specimen 
from Mount Maquiling, Luzon ( Baker ) , does not differ from the 
ones in the collection. 
Genus ANTHAXOMORPHUS Deyrolle 
Anthaxomorphus philippinensis sp. nov. 
Oblong, rather convex, dark brown, with slight coppery re- 
flection, head, sides of pronotum and elytra greenish bronze, shin- 
ing ; beneath black. 
Head widely grooved between the eyes, the groove becoming 
more widely flattened in front of epistoma; front divided into 
two parts, which are round on the vertex, finely granulate, and 
finely, irregularly rugose; antennal cavities large; epistoma 
broadly triangular, anterior margin broadly, arcuately concave, 
with the angles very acute. Pronotum very transverse, more 
than twice as wide as long; front narrower than base; sides 
finely crenulate, arcuately rounded from base to just behind the 
middle, then more rapidly narrowed to front angles, which are 
obtuse; anterior margin sinuate, with a widely rounded median 
lobe; base strongly bisinuate, with a very large, widely rounded 
lobe in front of scutellum; surface rather evenly convex, with 
a slight depression along the base on each side of the median 
lobe, very finely punctate and transversely rugose over entire 
surface. Scutellum small, broadly triangular. Elytra equal in 
width to widest part of pronotum; humeral angles broadly 
rounded ; sides finely dentate, strongly sinuate near middle, then 
broadly rounded to the tips, which are conjointly rounded; 
humeri not prominent, back of which is a rather deep depression 
along the anterior margin of elytra, extending obliquely toward 
the tips, the depression becoming nearly obsolete behind middle,
