the elytral punctuation not nearly so coarse. X. erythro- 

 derus, from Borneo, X. acuminatum, from Penang, and 

 X. uteni tu/(( hks, from Sumatra, again, are allied forms, 

 but they have the head black and differ in other respects. 



12. Xylophilus clavipes, n. sp. 



$. Oblong, robust, shining; testaceous, the head, prothorax, 

 and under surface reddish, the eyes black, the posterior femora and 

 tibiae in great part piceous, the intermediate femora infuscate near 

 the tip ; head and prothorax closely, finely, the elytra more coarsely 

 and diffusely, punctate; finely pubescent. Head short, broad, 

 narrowly, subangularly extended on each side behind the eyes, the 

 latter very large, deeply emargina-te, and separated by less than half 

 their own width ; antennae rather stout, long, joint 2 much shorter 

 than 3. 3-10 subcylindrical, about equal in length, 11 nearly as long 

 as 9 and 10 united, acuminate-ovate. Prothorax rather convex, 

 narrow, broader than long, quadrate, but little narrowed in front, 

 unimpressed. Elytra comparatively short, a little wider than the 

 head, narrowing from just below the base, broadly, obliquely de- 

 pressed on the disc anteriorly, appearing subcostate from the humeri 

 downward. Legs stout, moderately long; anterior tibiae feebly 

 sinuate within, mucronate at the inner apical angle: posterior 

 femora very stout, strongly clavate; posterior tibiae widening from 

 a little below the base; basal joint of posterior tarsi feebly curved, 

 stouter than the following joints.

Hub. Tenasseeim, Tavoy (Doherty). 



One male. More elongate than X. ceylonicus, Pic, <£, 

 the antennae much longer, with joints 3-10 oblongo- 

 cylindric, the anterior tibiae more slender and wit limit a 

 long bent hook at the apex beneath, the prothorax less 

 transverse. The legs longer and stouter, the posterior 

 femora strongly clavate.

prothorax, a large humeral spot on the elytra, and the apex of tin- 

 latter broadly, testaceous; densely, finely, the elytra more coarsely,
