each with three small fuscous spots—one on the disc below 
the base and two placed transversely at about the apical third ; 
closely, finely, the prothorax densely, the elytra rather 
coarsely, punctured. Head very broad, truncate at the base, 
narrowly extended on each side behind the eyes, the latter 
large, distant ; antennae comparatively short, rather stout, 
joint 3 about as long as 4, 11 stout, obliquely acuminate. 
Prothorax transverse, rounded at the sides anteriorly, canali- 
culate down the middle of the dise. Elytra rather short, 
wider than: the head, with a shallow oblique post-humeral 
depression. Anterior tibiee feebly curved ; posterior legs 
comparatively short, the femora stout, clavate, the tibice 
slightly widened, the basal joint of the posterior tarsi curved, 
thickened.

Hab, Putctertnes, Mt. Makiling in Luzon (C. F. Baker). 
One specimen, assumed to be g on account of the curved 
anterior tibia. More elongate than the Bornean X. immacul/- 
pennis, Champ. (1915), the antenne and legs stouter, the 
elytra each with three small fuscous spots. Less elongate 
than X. undulatus, Champ. (1915), from Penang, the head 
rufescent, the elytra shorter and differently marked. X. sulcd- 
thorax, Pic (1914), also from the Philippines, is said to have 
a similarly canaliculate prothorax, but it differs in other 
respects. 
Xylophilus philippinus, sp. n. 
3. Moderately elongate, shining (when denuded), pruinose; 
testaceous, the eyes black ; closely, finely punctate. Head 
broad, transverse, much developed behind the eyes, the post- 
ocular portion (as seen from above) about equalling them in 
lengtli; eyes moderately large, distant ; antenne slender, 
long, joint 3 small, not longer than 2, 11 obliquely acuminate. 
Prothorax transversely quadrate, narrowed in front. Elytra 
moderately long, about twice as wide as the prothorax, sub- 
parallel in their basal half, flittened on the disc anteriorly. 
Legs long; anterior tibize curved, angularly dilated at about 
their outer third (appearing strongly sinuate within) ; poste- 
rior femora thickened, hollowed along their lower face; basal 
joint of posterior tarsi very elongate, slender.
