NEW PHILIPPINE COLEOPTERA

In continuation of my studies upon the coleopterous fauna
of the Philippine Islands I describe, in the present paper,
further new species and varieties, for the greater part of which
I am indebted to Prof. C. F. Baker, dean of the College of Agri-
culture, Los Bafios. These species are recorded herein without
indication of the name of collector; but, where a species is
represented by more than one specimen, the number that cor-
responds with other specimens at Professor Baker's disposal
is given.
Besides this important and excellent collection, I have had
in hand for some time a part of the material belonging to the
Bureau of Science, Manila, which I shall work up later. Among
the latter is a weevil, imported with seeds from Australia
into the Philippine Islands, which I believe is new; this is de-
scribed, as are also some other Malayan Curculionidse that are
so nearly allied to Philippine species that their inclusion here
seemed desirable. Moreover, it was necessary to erect a new
Australian genus Riboseris upon Petosiris pars and to correct
the systematic position of my Endymia apicalis x which is a
Blepiarda.
The following is a list of the new species dealt with in this
paper, those marked with an asterisk being extra-Philippine.
For practical reasons the families are not arranged in strictly
