Eastern foi-ins, the i)ad iii X. pJanipennis being narrower and extending 

 nearly the wliole length of the femur. The portion of the aedeagus 

 visible in the two males described is extremely slender and strongly 

 curved, and very different from that of the allied X. fimbriatus. 



2.—Xylop1iilus fimhrkdus n. sp. 



(? . Elons^ate, narrow, robust, flattened above, shining (when denuded) ; 

 ferruginons, the elytra becoming slightly infuscate beyond the middle, their 

 inflexed outer margin to the apex, and the eyes, black ; densely, finely, the elytra 

 rather coarsely, punctate ; thickly clothed with greyish pubescence throughout. 

 Head short, broad, rather narrowly extended on each side behind the eyes, the 

 latter moderately large, feebly emarginate, and separated by a little more than 

 half their own width ; antennae rather long, moderately stout, joint 2 short, 

 3 twice as long as 2, 3-10 sub-equal in length, siib-triangular, 11 acuminate- 

 ovate. Prothorax broader than long, narrower than the head, quadrate, abruptly, 

 obliqiiely narrowed in front, distinctly constricted at the sides just behind the 

 rather prominent anterior angles, the disc Avith a deep transverse impression 

 before the base. Elytra long, a little wider than the head, flattened, sub- 

 parallel, transversely depressed below the base. Legs long, rather stout; 

 anterior tibiae unarmed ; anterior tarsi with joint 1 thickened ; posterior femora 

 stout, curved, furnished with a prominent, arcuate, denselj' ciliate pad along the 

 outer half beneath ; posterior tibiae straight from near the base. Length 2\, 

 breadth 4 mm. 



Hah. : Borneo, Mt. Matang, W. Sarawak {G. E. Bryant: 18.i.l4). 



One male. Extremely like the same sex of X. ciliatus, but separable 

 from it by the slightly shorter, wholly ferruginous antennae, the smaller 

 eyes, the distinctly constricted prothorax, the nigro-marginate, non- 

 fasciate elytra, the unarmed anterior tibiae, the thickened basal joint 

 of the anterior tarsi, the longer pad to the posterior femora, and the 

 straighter posterior tiljiae. If the ^ characters were ignored, X. fim- 

 briatus would probably be passed over as a variety of X. ciliatus, more 

 especially as the type of the former was obtained at the same locality, 

 but a few days earlier. The portion of the aedeagus visible in X. fim- 

 briatus is very slender, almost straight, and blunt at the tip. 



3. Xylophilus erythroderus n. sp. 



Moderately elongate, robust, flattened above, shining; head, and apices of 

 the intermediate and posterior femora, black, antennae, palpi, elytra, and the 

 rest of the legs, testaceous, prothorax rufous, the ventral siirface rufo-testaceous ; 

 thickly clothed with rather long, pallid hairs ; head and prothorax densely, the 

 elytra a little more coarsely, punctate. Head broad, short, smaller in $ , very 

 narrowly, sub-angularly extended on each side behind the eyes, the latter large, 

 somewhat depressed, rather deeply emarginate, and separattKl by less than lialf 

 their own width ; antennae ( (J ) moderately stout, not very long, joint 2 short.
