tending in a slight curve also to the lateral margins. Apical 
triangle with a large V-shaped marking. 
Length, 13.5 millimeters, without rostrum ; width, 5.3. 
Siargao Island (my collector). Type in my collection. 
Numerous specimens of this species were collected, but only 
from the above locality. 
Alcides arenatus sp. nov. 
Subcylindrical, very slender, reddish brown. Rostrum re- 
latively short; densely, irregularly, and confluently punctured. 
Prothorax very coarsely granulose, except the anterior submar- 
ginal area, and sparsely tomentose. Elytra very regularly punc- 
tate-striate, the punctures very large and squarish, the interstices 
forming regular ridges. Legs rather coarsely and confluently 
punctured and sparsely tomentose. 
Length, 11 millimeters, without rostrum; width, 3.5. 
Siargao Island (my collector). Type in my collection. 
This interesting species is easily recognized among any of the 
other Philippine species of Alcides by its very slender structure, 
peculiar sculpture, and coloration. 
Alcides plagiatus sp. nov. Plate I, fig. 18. 
Shiny black, with large creamy white spots. Rostrum with 
a fine groove in the basal half ; dorsally sparsely and finely punc- 
tured, laterally coarsely. A shallow depression on the front, 
which bears a punctifonn impression. Prothorax finely and 
regularly punctured, strongly and uniformly inflated dorsolater- 
ally, near the anterior margin laterally constricted. At the con- 
striction an oblong spot; another roundish spot located at the 
base laterad. Elytra very finely striate-punctate. Each elytron 
at the base with a depression reaching from the roundish and 
projecting scutellum to the humeral angle, the basal margin 
rounded, bent upward and slightly overlapping the prothorax. 
Another depression at the apical decline. Each elytron with 
the following spots: A large, suboval sutural spot at the base, 
another large roundish spot before the middle at the lateral 
margin, a roundish subsutural spot in the apical half, laterad 
of the latter a smaller roundish spot, and a V-shaped spot at the 
apical triangle. Prosternum, mesosternum, and metasternum
