removing the shellac used in mounting it. A narrow elon- 
gate form, with the general facies of an Anthicus; the 
prothorax small, transversely sulcate anteriorly, and deeply 
excavate before the base ; the elytra long, excavate and more 
coarsely punctured anteriorly. Near X. claviger, Champ. 
(1916), from Siam, the antennee (¢) much longer and with 
differently shaped terminal joint, the prothorax not angulate 
at the sides. X.malaccanus, Pic, is also another allied form.

Xylophilus fimbriatus, Champ. Ent. Mo, Mag. li. p. 279 (Oct. 1915). 
Hab, Borneo, W. Sarawak [type, ¢] (G. E. Bryant), 
Sandakan (C. F. Baker: 9). 
One example, differing from the type (¢) in having the 
elytra paler laterally, the antennz shorter and not so stout, 
and the posterior femora simple. An allied unnamed form 
from Sandakan (now without antennze) has a rougher head 
and prothorax, and the latter less angulate at the sides 
anteriorly. 
Xylophilus castaneus, sp. n. 
Oblong, robust, somewhat convex, shining, clothed with 
rather long pallid hairs; rufo-castaneous, the eyes, antenne 
(the reddish joints 1 and 2 and tip of 11 excepted), posterior 
femora and tibize, the other femora at the tip and the corre- 
sponding tibize in great part, piceous or black, the rest of the 
legs (the infuscate basal joint of the posterior tarsi excepted) 
and the palpi testaceous; closely, finely, the elytra rather 
coarsely, punctured. Head broad, truncate posteriorly, nar- 
rowly, subangularly extended on each side behind the eyes, the 
latter large, deeply emarginate, somewhat distant ; antennze 
long, stout, joints 3 and 4 subequal, 3 much longer than 2, 
11 sharply, obliquely acuminate. Prothorax convex, trans- 
versely subquadrate, narrowed in front, unimpressed. Elytra 
oblong, much wider than the head, depressed on the disc 
below the base. Legs rather elongate ; posterior femora 
stout, clavate, the tibize slightly bowed inward. 
Length 22 mm. (2? ?.) t 
Hab. Borneo, Sandakan (C. F. Baker). 
One specimen. Very like X. pulvinatus, Champ. (1916), 
from Siam and Tenasserim, the posterior femora more strongly 
clavate and the puncturing of the elytra coarser. The ¢ of 
X. pulvinatus has longer autenne, differently formed legs, &c., 
the 2 of the latter resembling the present insect. From
