By Frank Spaeth 
Of Vienna, Austria 
Through the kindness of Dr. L. 0. Howard of the Bureau of 
Entomology, United States Department of Agriculture, I have 
received two small collections containing Cassididse, collected 
during recent years in the Philippines, Singapore, Penang, and 
Borneo by Prof. Charles F. Baker. Among the specimens I 
found the new species of Hoplionota described in this paper, 
which bring the number of species of this interesting genus, 
that are known from the Philippines, up to fifteen, of which nine 
have been discovered by Professor Baker.
