locyrtus 4 the reverse is the case ; that is, the posterior femora 
of the female extend beyond the apex of the elytra. 
Metapocyrtus (Orthocyrtus) ornatus sp. nov. Plate I, fig. 12, S . 
Black with pale green and golden scale markings. Rostrum 
strongly coriaceous, an indistinct cross groove at the base. 
Basal half of the rostrum with a large, squarish, shallow de- 
pression extending to the front, bearing an irregular spot of 
reddish golden scales. Front with a medial groove. Prothorax 
subglobular, coriaceous; an anterior and posterior submarginal 
groove; an anterior marginal band of reddish golden scales. A 
medial groove bearing a scale stripe extending from near the 
anterior to near the posterior margin, toward each lateral mar- 
gin a broader scale stripe, and at the lateral margin a large 
oblong spot. Elytra coarsely and rather densely punctured in 
irregular rows in the male; in the female the punctures are less 
pronounced and more regular. Each elytron with a broad irreg- 
ular band at the base, spotlike and expanded near the suture. 
Another band at about the middle interrupted at the suture, and 
posterior of the latter another irregular band. The band at 
the middle confluent with a marginal stripe, which extends to 
the apical triangle and becomes confluent with a subsutural 
stripe. The posterior crossband, which terminates near the lat- 
eral margin, confluent with another shorter stripe at the apical 
third. Between the latter and the subsutural stripe two irreg- 
ular spots. The black areas of the prothorax and elytra with 
scattered, purplish metallic scales. Legs sparsely and irregu- 
larly punctured, and rugose and sparsely setose. Scattered red- 
dish metallic scales on the femora near the apex and on the 
tibiee. Mesosternum and metasternum of the male with a patch 
of brown pubescence. 
Male, length, 14.5 millimeters; width, 6.2. Female, length, 
12 millimeters; width, 5.6. 
Dinagat Island (my collector) . Types in my collection. 
Two other specimens from Siargao Island (male and female), 
the only ones collected, differ from the above in not having the 
dorsolateral stripes on the prothorax, but a roundish scale spot, 
located at the middle, between the anterior and posterior margins. 
4 Numerous specimens of several remarkable species of this difficult sub- 
genus were collected from the different localities; these will be considered 
on another occasion.
