excepted), base of intermediate femora, and intermediate tarsi, 

 fiavo -testaceous ; head and prothorax closely, finely, the elytra 

 more coarsely, punctate ; clothed with long, fine, pallid pubescence. 

 Head very large, short, narrowly, angularly extended on each side 

 behind the eyes, the latter extremely large, deeply emarginate, 

 and separated by about half their width ; antennae long, moderately 

 stout, joint 2 much shorter than 3, 3 very gradually decreasing in 

 length, 10 transverse, 11 stout, longer than 9 and 10 united, strongly 

 acuminate. Prothorax rather narrow, broader than long, sub- 

 quadrate, convex, narrowed in front, unimpressed. Elytra a little 

 wider than the head, comparatively short, subparallel at the base, 

 the usual oblique depression long and deep (the space near the 

 suture thus appearing strongly tumid). Legs long [the posterior 

 pair wanting]; anterior and intermediate femora stout; anterior 

 tibiae broadly, subangularly at the middle within, and produced 

 into a curved tooth at the tip (fig. 8), the tarsus inserted a little 

 before the apex.

Hob. Tenasserim, Tavoy (Doherty). 



One male, now wanting the posterior legs, but neverthe- 

 less easily recognisable by the powerful, subangularly 

 dilated anterior tibiae, the long, dark antennae, with 

 elongate, stout, apical joint, the large head and eyes, and 

 the abruptly flavous base of the elytra. X. tavoy anus is 

 related to X. jpulvinatus; but it is much smaller and 

 narrower, the antennae are more slender, the prothorax is 

 infuscate, and the anterior tibiae (<$) are differently shaped. 



6. Xylophilus perakensis, n. sp. 



q. Oblong, broad, robust, shining; nigro-piceous, the humeri, 

 the anterior femora, and the anterior tibiae and intermediate femora 

 in part, ferruginous, the palpi and tarsi testaceous [the hind legs 

 missing], the antennae black, with the base and tip reddish ; densely, 

 the elytra a little more coarsely, punctate; finely pubescent. 

 Head short, broad, extended outwards on each side behind the eyes, 

 the latter large, depressed, deeply emarginate, and separated by 

 about half their own width ; antennae stout, moderately long, 

 joint 2 short, 3 longer, 3-10 gradually decreasing in length, 3-7 

 nearly as long as broad, 8-10 transverse, 11 stout, obliquely acumin- 

 ate. Prothorax rather convex, large, transverse, a little narrower 

 than the head, subquadrate, narrowed in front, unimpressed. 

 Elytra considerably wider than the head, oblong, narrowing from a 

 little below the base, with an oblique intra-humeral depression.
