One male, in good condition. This insect seems to be a 
variety of X. bakeri, Pic (1915), from the same locality, with 
the elytral markings partly confluent, the type having two 
oblong nigro-piceous patches on the dise and the sutural region 
infuscate, and the var. sericeopubens, Pic, the elytra black, 
with a long humeral patch and about the apical third testa- 
ceous. The armature of the ¢ anterior tibiz is similar to 
that of the Indian X. armipes, Fairm., except that the tooth 
is placed nearer the tip. Not unlike X. furcatémanus, 
Champ. (1916), from Tenasserim, but with the elytral 
markings more strongly angulate in front and behind and 
the ¢ characters very different. The sexual marks of 
distinction of X. bakert were not noted by its describer. 
Xylophilus cephalicus, sp. n. 
Short, broad, convex, opaque (till denuded) ; piceous, the 
head, palpi, antennee (the testaceous third joint excepted), 
and prothorax rufescent or ferruginous, the tarsi, and the 
anterior and intermediate femora and tibie in great part, 
testaceous ; bluisl-grey pruinose and also very finely pubes- 
cent; closely, minutely, the elytra more distinctly, punctured. 
Head large, subquadrate, greatly developed behind the eyes, 
rounded on each side at the base; eyes convex, moderately 
large, distant ; antennee short, stout, joint 3 very small, 5-10 
strongly transverse, 11 thickened, acuminate. Prothorax 
narrow, subquadrate, rounded at the sides anteriorly. Elytra 
broad, short, rounded at the sides posteriorly, unimpressed, 
Legs rather short; posterior femora thickened, the tibie 
moderately stout. 
L ngth 12, breadth nearly 1 mm. ( ? ?.) 
Hab. Puivierines, Basilan Island (C. F. Baker). 
One specimen, in perfect condition. Extremely like the 
Bornean X, cesius, Champ. (1915), type probably ?, but 
with the head larger, and the antenne terruginous and almost 
as stout as in X. laticornis, Pic, from Ceylon, &e., and shorter 
than in X. annulicornis, Champ. (1916), from Tenasserim. 
The post-ocular portion of the head is longer than in X. date- 
cornis and the eyes are more prominent. The sexes of this 
latter insect have not been certainly identified by me, and 
further material of all of them is required. 
AXylophilus sexguttatus, sp. n. 
g. Rather short, robust, shining, finely pubescent ; testa- 
ceous, the head and prothorax reddish, theeyes black, the elytra
