282 [October, 



One male. Not unlike the Bornean X. erythroderus, but with more 

 acuminate elytra, a shorter prothorax, a slightly smaller head, a 

 narrower apical joint to the antennae, and a much longer basal joint to 

 the posterior tarsi ; tlie posterior femora of the ^ not inflated anteriorly. 

 The elytra jointly might be described as elongate- sub-triangular. 



7 .—Xylophilus undulatus n. sp. 



Oblong-, convex, shining ; testaceous, the head, a common, narrow, undulate, 

 median fascia on the elytra, and a space on the posterior femora towards the 

 apex, black, the under-surface slightly infuscate ; densely, the elytra a little 

 more coarsely, punctate ; clothed with long pallid hairs. Head short, broad, 

 rather narrowly extended on each side behind the eyes, the latter large, deeply 

 emarginate, and separated by about half their own width ; antennae short, 

 moderately stout, joint 2 short, 3 a little longer, 4-10 very gradually becoming 

 shorter and wider, 9 and 10 transverse, 11 acuminate-ovate. Prothorax slightly 

 narrower than the head, transverse, somewhat rounded at the sides, unimpressed. 

 Elytra oblong, wider than the head, convex, sub-parallel in their basal half, the 

 post-basal depression oblique, shallow. Legs rather long : posterior femora 

 strongly clavate; posterior tibiae widened and compressed. Length 21, 

 breadth f mm. ( ? ?). 



Hah.: Penang {G. E. Bryant : 18.X.13). 



One specimen. More elongate than X. diversiceps Pic, $ , from 

 Ceylon, the dark elytral markings reduced to a narrow, common, un- 

 dulate median fascia, the legs and antennae longer and stouter, the 

 posterior femora strongly clavate. X. nigronotatus Pic, from Ceylon, 

 has the elytra similarly fasciate, but it differs in other respects. Very 

 similar forms occur in Tropical America. 



8. — Xylophilus inelanurtis u. sp. 



(J. Oblong, depressed, rather broad, shining; ferruginous, the eyes, the 

 apical half of the elytra (a common, large, indeterminate, siib-apical patch 

 excepted), the terminal joint of the maxillary palpi, joints 4-10 of the antennae, 

 and the posterior femora and tibiae in part, infuscate or black ; densely, finely, 

 the elytra a little more coarsely, punctate ; thickly clothed with very fine 

 cinereous pubescence, the elytra with a common, well-defined median fascia of 

 darker, brownish hairs. Head convex, short, broad, rounded at the sides behind 

 the eyes, tlie latter large, not reaching the base, feebly emarginate^ and some- 

 what narrowlj'^ separated ; antennae short, rather stout, joint 2 short, 3 and 4 

 longer, 4-10 gradually decreasing in length, 9 and 10 transverse, 11 ovate. 

 Prothorax small, quadrate, abruptly, obliquely nai'rowed in front, faintly bi- 

 impressed before the base. Elytra a good deal wider than the head, sub-parallel, 

 rather short, blunt at the tip, flattened, transversely depressed below the base. 

 Legs long ; posterior femora stout, clavate : posterior tibiae slip;htly curved. 

 Length 2, breadth f mm. 



Hab. : Borneo, Mt. Matang, Sarawak, alt. 1,000 feet (G. E. Bryant: 

 16.i.l4).
