shorter than 3, 3-10 subcylindrical, gradually decreasing in length, 

 10 transverse, 11 acuminate-ovate. Prothorax strongly transverse, 

 convex, very little narrower than the head, unimpressed. Elytra 

 short, much broader than the head, somewhat rounded at the sides, 

 rather convex, the post-basal depression wanting. Legs compara- 

 tively short, the posterior femora a little stouter than the others. 

 Length 2^, breadth 1 mm. 



Hab. Tenasseeim, Tavoy (Doherty). 



One female, at first provisionally placed by me under 

 X. podagricus, the male only of which is known; but the 

 differences are much too great for these insects to be the 

 sexual complements of the same species. X. trinotatus is 

 not unlike the Palaearctic X. neglectus, Duval, except that 

 it is larger and more robust, etc. 



14. Xylophilus flavofasciatus, n. sp. 



(J. Oblong, rather convex, shining; piceous, the head (the eyes 

 excepted) and prothorax ferruginous, the antennae and palpi, the 

 elytra with a rather broad basal fascia and an indeterminate oval 

 spot near the suture beyond the middle, and the legs (the posterior 

 femora in part excepted), testaceous; densely, finely, the elytra 

 rather coarsely, punctate, finely pubescent. Head convex, short, 

 moderately broad, the eyes depressed, deeply emarginate, not 

 reaching the base ; antennae rather stout, subnliform, joint 2 short, 

 3 and 4 a little longer, equal, 5-10 slightly shorter and wider, 10 

 transverse, 11 stout, as long as 9 and 10 united, acuminate-ovate. 

 Prothorax transverse, rounded at the sides, rather convex, unim- 

 pressed. Elytra short, much wider than the head, somewhat 

 rounded at the sides, the post-basal depression wanting. Legs 

 comparatively short, rather stout; anterior tibiae armed with a 

 minute triangular tooth on the inner edge about the middle ; posterior 

 femora stout, clavate, simple ; posterior tibiae curved, rather broad ; 

 basal joint of posterior tarsi feebly curved. 



Length If, breadth -J mm. 



Hab. Assam, Patkai Mts. (Doherty). 



One male, somewhat crushed. Smaller than X. ceylonicus 

 and X. nigronotatus, Pic, and X. clavipes, Ch. ; the elytra 

 less parallel, piceous, and testaceo-maculate ; the eyes 

 rather small and depressed; the male with the anterior 

 tibiae armed with a minute tooth at the middle, the 

 posterior femora simply clavate, and the posterior tibiae 

 curved.
