Abstract

Three new species of Coraebini (Coleoptera: Buprestidae: Agrilinae, subtribes Coraebina and Toxoscelina) from the Philippine island of Leyte are described: the tenth species of Coraebosoma Obenberger, 1923: C. viridis; the second species of Lumawigia Bellamy, 2005: L. leytensis; and the third species of Philippscelus Bellamy, 1998: P. gracilis. All three are distinguished from their congeners in new or modified keys and illustrated with color photographs of the respective dorsal habitus and male genitalia.
