Ilah. Assam: Manipur {W. DoherUJ). 



Tlie unique male type-specimen is closely similar to 

 K. chinensis, Fakl., hut differs in the strong and reguhuly 

 serial puncturation o£ the elytra, wiiich does not change its 

 cliaracter at tiio lateral margins. The finely and densely 

 ru^rnse sides of the metasternuni and their thick clothing ol: 

 red hair are also characteristic of the species. Fig. 4 shows 

 the redeagus of this species. 



Eophileurxis andamanicus, sp. n. (PI. XIII. fig. G.) 



E. planato affinis, sod minor, magis elongatus, elytroruni puiictis 

 majoribus et crobriuribus ; metasterno parce puuctato, vix 

 hirsute : 



<J , pronoto antice leviter irapresso, cavitate usque ad medium haud 

 producta. 



Long. 19-21 mm.; lat. max. 9-5-11 mm, 



Hab. Andaman Is. {Capt. WimherJey), Nicobar Is. 

 {Roepstorff) . 



Tlie form and sculpture are almost identical with those 

 of E. planatus, Wiede., but it is a smaller and rather 

 narrower insect, with less luiiry metasternum and slightly 

 coarser and closer puncturation upon the elytra. Feeble as 

 are the apparent differences between the two forms the 

 adeagus of the male (shown in fig. 6) is strikingly different. 



Eophileurus siamensis, sp. n. (PI. XIII. fig. 7.) 



Niger, nitidus, sat latus, elytris grosse et crebre punctatis : E. pla- 

 nato proximo affinis, sod minor, elytrorum punctis majoribus et 

 crebrioribus, marginibus externis antice magis reflexis ; meta- 

 sterni lateribus parce punctatis, distincte rufo-hirsutis. 



Long. 20 mm. ; lat. max. 10 mm. 



Ilah. SlAM : Bangkok, Ohantabon (S. S. Floioer). 



E. siamensis has the small size and feebly developed male 

 characteristics on head and thorax, and also the coarse and 

 close elytral puncturation, of E. andamanicus^ but it is less 

 elongate and the metasternum is more hairy, in which it 

 more nearly resembles E, planatus. The tedeagus is shown 

 at fi-. 7. 



The sedeagi of a few other species of EophiJeurus, in addi- 

 tion to the six new forms here described, will be found 

 represented upon Plate XIII. , which, owing to a misadventure, 

 has had to be deferred to a later part.
