towards the middle of the elytra, the first joint of the posterior 

 tarsi as long as the following two joints. 



Ilab. Si-Rambé. A single specimen. 



Of half the width of the preceding species and although (dosely 

 allied, api)arently distinct in the shape of the antennae, the 

 Ijlack vertex of the head and the lateral deep fovea of the tiio- 

 rax which makes the anterior portion appear to ]je raised. 



1:2^2. Xenoda basalis, Jac. (The Entomologist Sup})l. 181)3). — 

 A small and extremely variable species in regard to th(! colour 

 of the elytra which are either black or testaceous or partly of 

 either colour, and clothed with fine pubescence, the antennae 

 are strongly swollen in the male but have no spine as in the 

 type A', spinicoriiis, Baly, but in the female they are long and 

 slender. Specimens were obtained at Si-Rambé and Pangherang- 

 Pisang. I may add here, that the tibiae in Xenoda are unarmed 

 and that the anterior coxal cavities are open. 



1^3. Xenoda pallida, n. sp. — Pale testaceous, linely pube- 

 scent, thorax transversely sulcate, impunctate, elytra very linely 

 rugosely punctate and pubescent. 



</. Antennae with the intermediate joints greatly dilated, 

 furnished with a long spine. 



Length 3 lines. 



Head impunctate, frontal tubercles strongly raised, trigonate, 

 clypeus in shape of a transverse ridge, palpi robust, antennae 

 scarcely extending to the middle of the elytra, pale testaceous, 

 the intermediate joints very strongly and gradually widened , 

 the eighth joint furnished with a long acute spine , ninth joint 

 very elongate, the terminal t\A o shorter, thorax very short and 

 transverse, the disc transversely sulcate, impunctate, elytra finely 

 rugose and sparingly clothed with pale pubescence, tibiae some- 

 times fuscous, the first joint of the posterior tarsi longer than 

 the following three joints together. 



Ilab. Si-Rambé. 



A'', pallida is evidently closely allied to X. hirtipennis^ Jac. 

 also from Sumatra , it is of the same size and general colour 

 and has similarly constructed antennae, but differs in the finely
