LIII.—On some Eastern Xylophilids [ Coleoptera]. 
By G. C. CHAmpPion, F.Z.S. 
Mr. C. F. Baker, of the Agricultural College, Los Baftos, 
Philippines, has recently sent to the British Museum an 
interesting series of Hastern Xylophilids, mainly from the 
island of Basilan, to the west of Mindanao, and Sandakan in 
N.E. Borneo, These insects are enumerated or described in 
the present paper, which is a continuation of others on the 
same subject written by myself in 1915, 1916, and 1917 
[ef. Ann. & Mag. Nat. Hist. (8) xvi.; Trans. Ent. Soc. Lond. 
1916; and Ent. Mo. Mag. li., liii.]. A few additional 
Indian forms, given to the Museum by Mr. E. A. Butler, or 
sent by my son, H. G.C., from Almora during the past year, 
are included in the present contribution. Three Xylophilids 
have already been recorded from the Philippines by Pic 
(ylophilus baert, bakeri, and sulcithorax), but the Museum 
has not hitherto possessed any material from these islands, 
whence ten are now enumerated. On account of the humid 
climate, Mr. Baker’s insects have been mounted with shellac, 
which is not easily removed without damage to the specimens, 
hence several of them must be left undetermined till further 
material is obtained.
