so stout as 2, 4—10 o^-advially becoming shorter and wider, 10 transverse 

 11 acuminate-ovate. Prothorax a little broader than long", narrow, not so wide 

 as the head, snb-quadrate, narrowed anteriorly, the disc obsoletely canaliculate 

 down the middle behind. Elytra short, broad, convex, slightly rounded at the 

 sides, feebly, transversely depressed below the base. Legs short ; posterior 

 femora moderately incrassate. Length If, breadth -^^ mm. ( ? ?) 



Hah.: Borneo, Quop, W. Sarawak (G. E. Bryant: 24.ii.14). 



One very fresh specimen, almost certainly a ? . Very near 

 X. Jaficornis Pic, ? , from Ceylon and Tenasserini,* and with similarly 

 densely, rugosely punctate elytra ; but with the antennae less dilated, 

 the head, prothorax, and base of the elytra rufous, the prothorax a 

 little longer, the eyes more prominent, the surface densely bluish- 

 grey-pruinose. 



13. — Xylophilus immactdatus n. sp. 



Short, convex, shining ; testaceous, the eyes black ; densely, finely, the 

 elytra more coarsely, punctate ; clothed with rather long, pallid hairs. Head 

 short, bioad, narrowly, sub-angularly extended on each side behind the eyes, 

 the latter large, deeply emarginate, and rather distant ; antennae moderately 

 stout, comparatively short, joint 3 slightly longer than 2, 4-10 very gradually 

 becoming shorter and wider, 7-10 transverse, 11 obliquely acuminate. Pro- 

 thorax short, narrower than the head, sliglitly rounded at the sides, unimpressed. 

 Elytra wider than the head, shoi't, a little rounded at the sides, the oblique 

 post-basal depression shallow or wanting. Legs short ; postei'ior femoi-a 

 clavate, stoviter in ^,the posterior tibiae also wider in this sex. Length 1^, 

 breadth f mm. 



Hah.: Borneo, Mt. Matang, W. Sarawak {G.E. Bryant: xii.l3). 



Two specimens, assumed to be ^ and $ . Two others, imperfect, 

 from Penang {Bryant: x and xii, 1913), also seem to belong here. 

 This is one of many small, immaculate, testaceous, immature-looking 

 Xylophilids, without pronounced ^ characters. It is chiefly re- 

 cognizable by its convex form, long, pallid vestiture, short prothorax, 

 rather stout antennae, and the clavate posterior femora. 



14. — Xylophilus hrevipilis n. sp. 



Short, convex, dull ; rufo-testaceous, the eyes black ; the entire iipper 

 surface very densely piuictate, the punct\ires on the elytra somewhat coarse ; 

 clothed with short, fine, pallid hairs. Head short, broad, convex, narrowly 

 extended on each side behind the eyes, the latter moderately large, deeply 

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

 with sub-cylindrical joints, 2 short, 3 miich longer than 2 or 4, 4-6 about as long as 

 broad, 7-10 transverse, 11 acuminate-ovate. Prothorax short, narrower than
