New or little-known Xylophilidae. 5 



broader than long, subparallel-sided. Elytra broader than the 

 head and prothorax, moderately long, subparallel, obliquely de- 

 pressed on the disc below the base. Legs long; posterior femora 

 feebly incrassate; posterior tibiae slightly curved in J; basal joint 

 of posterior tarsi strongly arcuate. 

 Length 2 mm. 



Hah. Siam, Elenong [type] ; Tenassemm, Tavoy. 



Two specimens, assumed to be sexes, the one from Siam 

 having the posterior tibiae distinctly curved, both taken 

 by Doherty. It is quite probable that these insects should 

 be referred to //. (Phytobaenus) indicus, Pic, from Mahe, 

 Malabar; but as the latter is described as having the 

 prothorax longer than broad, and the antennae reddish 

 (a character relied upon by Pic in his comparative remarks 

 under H. notaticollis, from New Guinea), the identification 

 is too doubtful to be accepted. The normal antennae, 

 immaculate elytra, more slender posterior femora, and 

 arcuate basal joint of the posterior tarsi, readily separate 

 the present species from H. fracticornis. 



NOTOXEUGLENES. 



Notoxeuglenes, Pic, Ann. Soc. Ent, Fr. 1912, p. 281. 



Mr. Bryanl lias been kind enough to lend nie for examina- 

 tion the type of this genus, N. impressithorax, Pic, found by 

 himself in Trinidad, in Feb. 1903. It is certainly a male, 

 and the broadly rostrate head (which is flattened in front 

 and produced beyond the labrum) may be peculiar to this 

 sex. The posterior femora are exceedingly stout, clavate, 

 arched in front, and armed with a small tooth at about 

 the middle beneath. The posterior tibiae are short, and 

 subarcuately dilated externally. 



The genus was described in a paper on Anthicidae and 

 Hylophilidae, and the particular family to which the 

 insect belonged was not indicated by the author. The 

 type (<^) is figured on Plate I. figs. :;. 3a.
