xv, 3 Banks: Two Philippine Buprestids 291 
The prothorax has the laterocephalic lobes strongly, roundly 
produced cephalad, their anterior margins being on a line with 
the tip of the mouth or a little beyond. Its integument is finely 
reticulate-punctate and its lateral and cephalic margins are 
sparsely white haired, especially the lobes. 
The mesothorax is two-thirds the length of the prothorax 
and is minutely punctate, these two segments being consequently 
dull glabrous. All the segments of the body caudad of the pro- 
thorax are strongly lobed laterad, except the twelfth, thirteenth, 
and fourteenth, the last being spherical; the other two, evenly 
rounded laterad; and the penultimate, five-eighths as wide as 
the antepenultimate. 
The caudal margins of the first to the sixth abdominal seg- 
ments are one-third to one-half longer than the cephalic mar- 
gins; hence the lateral lobes are obcordate in outline (Plate 
II, fig. 3) and the segmental incisions are very deep. At the 
base of each lateral lobe on the dorsum is a convex, lunate, 
longitudinal sulcus which, with its neighbors, roughly outlines 
the lateral limit of the abdominal segmental articulations. 
On the ventrum the second to the eighth abdominal segments 
are provided with sublateral, circular pseudopodal papillee, 
laterad of which appear sulci, as dorsad, but somewhat more 
profound (Plate II, fig. 4). 
In the last instar and previous to cessation of feeding, the 
larva measures 10 millimeters in length and is more buff or 
very dark cream, darker on the thoracic segments. The scu- 
tum and sternum of the prothorax are sharply outlined and 
darker and more chitinized than the surrounding integument. 
The anal segment is obtusely bilobed caudad. The abdominal 
pseudopodal papilke are more prominent and glabrously cor- 
rugated. 
The movements of the larva are Very sluggish, both in the 
mine and when removed therefrom, and it has the peculiar 
habit of switching its tail from side to side in the gallery, thus 
leaving behind a fine string of excreta in a broad zigzag chain 
(Plate I, figs. 1, 2, and 3). 
PUPA 
The pupa just after formation is 6 millimeters long and 2.25 
millimeters wide, and is greenish cream-white, glabrous, and 
subcutaneously opaque. It follows very closely the general 
form of the adult except that its abdomen is narrower, with 
the segmental articulations constricted somewhat as in the
