some Eastern Xylophilids. 403 
Length 2;'5 mm. 
flab. PHttipPINnEs, Basilan Island (C. F. Baker). 
One specimen, possibly g, the anterior tibize being percep- 
tibly curved. A small, oblong, convex, shining, testaceous 
insect, the elytra piceo-biguttate and rather coarsely punc- 
tured, the puncturing of the prothorax also strong. The first 
ventral suture is just traceable across the middle. Not unlike 
X. meranganus, Champ. (1916), from Sumatra. The red 
head, broader prothorax, and differently coloured elytra 
separate X. biguttatus from X. trinotatus, Champ., from 
Tenasserim. 
Xylophilus breviculus, sp. u. 
Oval, rather convex, robust, shining, finely pubescent ; 
testaceous, the eyes and a spot on the dise of the prothorax 
(possibly due to discoloration) black; closely, finely, the 
elytra more coarsely, punctured. Head broad, truncate 
posteriorly, narrowly extended on each side behind the eyes, 
the latter large, distant ; antennze short, rather stout, joint 3 
a little longer than 2, 5-10 transverse, 11 oval. Prothorax 
convex, short, as broad as the head, rounded at the sides 
anteriorly. Hlytra oval, short, wider than the prothorax, 
unimpressed. Legs short; posterior femora stout, clavate, 
the tibie widened. 
Length 13 mm. 
Hab. PHILIPPINES, Basilan Island (C. F. Baker). 
One specimen, A very small, oval, convex, shining testa- 
ceous insect, much smaller than X. biguttatus, the antennze 
short and rather stout, the legs short, the posterior femora 
relatively thicker. 
Xylophilus sandakane, sp. n. 
Oblong-oval, shining, finely cinereo-pubescent ; nigro- 
piceous, the palpi, joints 4-11 of the antenne, the coxe, 
bases of the femora, knees, tibiz (the median third of the 
posterior pair excepted), and tarsi testaceous; densely, 
finely, the elytra a little more coarsely, punctured. Head 
broad, truncate behind; eyes very large, occupying nearly 
the whole of the sides of the head, somewhat distant ; an- 
tenng rather long, slender, slightly thickened towards the tip, 
joint 3 as long as 4, 11 stout, acuminate-ovate. Prothorax 
transverse, rounded at the sides anteriorly, shallowly, ob- 
liquely bi-impressed before the base. Hlytra much wider 
than the head, oblong, obsoletely depressed below the base.
