Hob. India, Nilgiri Hills (H. L. Andrewes). 



One male. This remarkable insect, which might easily 

 be mistaken for an Anthicid till the tarsal structure was 

 examined, has the apical joint of the antennae stout and 

 greatly elongated as in many Lagriids, this joint being 

 probably normal in the female. It is a narrow, elongate, 

 depressed, pallid form, with a broad, faint, darker post- 

 median fascia on the elytra. The very long, curved, 

 acuminate, penis-sheath is extruded in the type. X. 

 claviger, Ch. (infra), from Siam, is a somewhat similar 

 insect. 



22. Xylophilus glaucus, n. sp. 



<J. Moderately elongate, depressed, opaque (till denuded); nigro- 

 piceous, the head rufo-piceous, the mouth-parts, palpi, joints 1-3 

 and 11 of the antennae, the prothorax, a small humeral spot on 

 the elytra, the anterior and intermediate legs (the slightly infuscate 

 outer halves of the intermediate femora and tibiae excepted), and 

 the posterior tarsi, rufous or testaceous; densely, finely, the elytra 

 a little more coarsely, punctate ; the upper surface uniformly clothed 

 with fine, sericeous, grey pubescence. Head short, moderately 

 broad, extended on each side behind the eyes, the latter not very 

 large, feebly emarginate, and separated by about their own width ; 

 antennae slender, comparatively short, joint 3 nearly twice as long 

 as 2, 3-10 gradually decreasing in length, 4-10 subtriangular, 11 

 stout, acuminate-ovate. Prothorax transverse, scarcely narrower 

 than the head, subtrapezoidal, abruptly, obliquely narrowed in 

 front, the anterior angles somewhat dentiform, the disc arcuately 

 impressed before the base. Elytra moderately long, subparallel, 

 flattened, wider than the head, with a shallow, oblique, post-basal 

 depression. Legs rather long, slender ; posterior femora moderately 

 incrassate, with a long, narrow, flavous, densely ciliate pad towards 

 the apex beneath; basal joint of posterior tarsi feebly curved, 

 barely half the length of the tibia.
