Hili Madjedja, Northern Nias, late in 1895 (I. Z. Kannegieter) ; I c?. ' 



This form was originally described as a distinct species from a single North 

 Bornean ?. Althongli none of the ten specimens now before me from Ilntch 

 Borneo, Sumatra, the Malay Peninsula, Coehinehina, and Nias agree exactly 

 with that example, it appears to me advisable to keep these specimens under 

 the name of simplex until further material from North Borneo proves the 

 specimens of that district to conform to the type of ts/z/i/iler. 



4. Xenocerus mamillatus Jord. (1903). 



Kina-Balti, North Borneo; 1 ?. 



This specimen, as well as another ? in the Tring Museum from Malacca, 

 is slenderer than the unique name-type from Pontiauak, and the lateral lines on 

 the prothorax and elytra are thinner. 



S. Xenocerus pictus Kirsch (1877). 



Perak (W. Doherty) ; 4 <^(? and 8 ? ?. 



The species is only known from the Malay Peninsula. 



0. Xenocerus ornatus Jord. (1807). 



Tandjong Morawa, Serdang, N.E. Sumatra (B. Hagen); 2 ? ?. 



I described the species from a single specimen in the Genoa Museum, but we 

 have since received 2 cJcJ and 3 ? ? from West Sumatra. In tlie above 2 ¥ ? 

 obtained by Dr. Hagen the lateral stripes of the pronotum and the yellowish spots 

 of the elytra are rather larger than in the West Sumatran examples. 



This species is close to X. pictus Kirsch (1877), although it has a rather 

 different facies on account of the punctures of the elytra being pubescent white. 



7. Xenocerus rectilineatus Jord. (1894). 



Darjiling ; 1 c?. 



No locality ; 3 J c? and 1 ¥. 



8. Xenocerus scalaris Jord. (1894). 

 Davao, Mindanao (Dr. Platen) ; 3 i S and 1 ?. 



9a. Xenocerus barbicornis virgatus subsj). nov. 



S. Vittis elytrornm latls, dorsali cum fascia transversa una, metasterno macula 

 nigra latcrali parva, abdomine in medio sparsim albescente. 



Philijipine Islands ; 1 cJ (apparently from coll. Semper). 



The dorsal strijjc of the elytrum is about as broad as the space which separates 

 it from the sublateral stripe, and the transverse band is completely united with it, 

 I Ik; black sutural space being spear-shaped and narrower than one dorsal interspace ; 

 the sublateral stripe is likewise bmader than in true barbiromis and joins the outer 

 branch of the dorsal stripe behind the shoulder-angle, the black subbasal dorsal 

 swelling of the elytrum being completely encircled by white. The white spots of 

 the ]>ycidiiim extend from the base to the apex. The white lateral stripe of tbe
