xv, 3 Banks: Two Philippine Buprestids 297 
bred specimens. Type No. 18397 in College of Agriculture col- 
lection, Los Banos. 
This species approaches Endelus marseulii H. Deyr, in size; 
it differs from E. xthiops H. Deyr., which it closely resembles, 
in being bronzy brown, in the greater obliquity of the face, 
in the sides of the elytra being parallel for five-eighths of their 
length and lacking the strong impression and the large gibbosity 
at their bases. 
The specific name is suggested by the galleries made by the 
larvae in the leaves of Asplenium sp., which have the appearance 
of handwriting.
