Posterior legs comparatively short, the femora clavate, the 
basal joint of the tarsi rather stout, long, almost straight. 
Length 13 mm. ( ??.) 
flab. Borneo, Sandakan (C. F. Baker). 
One specimen, in perfect condition. A small oblong-oval 
insect, with the body uniformly piceous, the antenne rather 
slender, testaceous, with joints 1-3 infuscate, and the legs 
partly testaceous, the posterior pair somewhat feebly deve- 
loped. This species can be placed near X. curtus, Champ. 
(1916), from Assam, the latter having shorter and stouter 
antennae. 
Xylophilus microphthalnus, sp. n. 
Oblong-oval, rather convex, shining (when denuded), very 
finely sericeo-pubescent ; rufo-testaceous, the legs paler, the 
eyes black, the antennz obscure ferruginous, paler at the base 
and tip ; closely, finely, the elytra more distinctly, punctured. 
Head a little wider than the prothorax, truncate posteriorly, 
rather broadly extended on each: side behind the eyes, the 
latter comparatively small, convex; antenne thickened, 
joint 3 as long as 4, 5-10 transverse, 11 acuminate-ovate. 
Prothorax transversely subquadrate, depressed on the disc 
before the base. Elytra oval, almost unimpressed. Posterior 
femora moderately clavate. 
Length 13 mm. 
Hab. Puitiprines, Los Baftos (P. L. Baker). 
One example only of this convex ruto-testaceous form 
has been sent. ‘The small, prominent eyes, oval, unim- 
pressed elytra, rather stout antenne, and silky pubescence 
are its chief characters. Smaller than X. sandakane, the 
antennee stouter, the head broadly extended behind the eyes, 
the body differently coloured. 
Indian forms. 
Xylophilus albolineatus, sp. n. 
Moderately elongate, rather broad, shining; black, the 
palpi, tarsi (except the basal joint of the intermediate and 
posterior pairs), and the cox and bases of the femora to a 
variable extent, testaceous; clothed with rather long, ad- 
pressed, fuscous and whitish hairs, the latter condensed on 
the elytra into a posteriorly-abbreviated sutural streak, an 
oblique line on the disc exterior to it, and a common, arcuate 
subapical fascia, the hairs along the sides of the elytra, 
and on the under surface, antenne, and legs, also whitish ;
