LI 1 1. — On some Eastern XijlophiUds \_Coleoptera'\. 

 By G. C. Champion, F.Z.S. 



jAIr. C. F. Baker, of the Agricultural College, Los Bafios, 

 Philippines, has recently sent to the British Museum an 

 interesting series of Eajitern Xylophilids, mainly fiom the 

 island of Basilan, to the west of Mindanao, and Sandakan in 

 N.K. Borneo. These insects are enumerated or described in 

 the present paper, which is a continuation of others on the 

 same subject written by myself in 1915, 1916, and 1917 

 \cf. Ann. & Mag. Nat. Hist. (8) xvi. ; Trans. Ent. Soc. Lond. 

 1916 ; and Ent. Mo. Mag. li., liii.]. A few additional 

 Indian forms, given to the Museum by JiL*. E. A. Butler, or 

 sent by my son, H. G. C, from Almora during the past year, 

 are included in the present contribution. Tin-ee Xylophilids 

 have already been recorded from the Philippines by Pic 

 {llylophilus baeri, bakeri, and sulcithorax) , but the Museum 

 has not hitlierto possessed any material from these islands, 

 whence ten are now enumerated. On account of the humid 

 climate, Mr. Baker's insects have been mounted with shellac, 

 wliich is not easily removed without damage to the specimens, 

 hence several of them must be left undetermined till further 

 material is obtained.
