‘wo males in good condition. Larger than X. ephippiatus, 
Champ. (1916), from Tenasserim, the elytra differently 
marked, the head testaceous, the ¢ characters different, the 
posterior femora, however, somewhat similarly formed in this 
sex. The Bornean X. immaculipennis is also not unlike the 
present species.
