One male, in good comlition. This insect seems to be a 

 variety of A', bakeri, Pic (1'J15), from the same locality, with 

 the elytral markings partly confluent, the type havinfij two 

 oblong nigro-piceou.s patches on the disc and the suturul re;fion 

 infuscate, and the var. sericeopuhenSj Pic, the elytra black, 

 with a long humeral patch and about the apical third testa- 

 ceous. The armature of the ^ anterior tibirc is similar to 

 that of the Indian A', armipes, Fairm., except that the tooth 

 is placed nearer the tip. Not unlike X. furcatimanus, 

 Champ. (1916), from Tenasserira, but with the elytral 

 markinirs more stroniilv angulato in front and behind and 

 the ^ characters very different. The sexual marks of 

 distinction of X. bakeri were not noted by lis describer. 



Xylophihis cep/ialicus, sp. n. 



Short, broad, convex, opaque (till denuded) ; piceous, the 

 head, l»alpi, antennaj (the testaceous third joint excepted), 

 and prothorax rufescent or ferruginous, the tarsi, and the 

 autorior and intermediate femora and tibiaj in great part, 

 testaceous; bluish-grey pruinose and also very finely pubes- 

 cent ; closely, minutely, the elytra more distinctly, punctured. 

 Head large, subquadrate, greatly developed behind the eye-, 

 rounded on each side at the base ; eyes convex, moderately 

 large, distant ; antennre short, stout, joint 3 very small, 5-10 

 strongly ti-ansveis<>, 11 tliickened, acuminate. Prothorax 

 narrow, subquadr.it'-, rounded at the sides anteriorly. Elytra 

 broad, short, rounded at the sitles posteriorly, unimpressed. 

 Legs rather short ; posterior femora thickened, the tibiiU 

 moderately stout.

//((/'. Philippines, Basilau Island {€. F. Baker). 



One speeinuti, in perfect condition. Extremely like the 

 15 nncan X. cces'ius, Champ. (191o), . type probably ?, but 

 with the head larger, and the anlenna3 ferruginous and almost 

 as .stout as in A'. laticornis, Pic, from Ceylon, &c., and shorter 

 than in A^ anuuUcnrnis, Champ. (191tj), from Tcnas.seriu). 

 The post-ocular poition of the head is longer than iii X. lati- 

 cornis and the eyes are more prominent. Tiio sexes of this 

 latter insect have not been d'rtainly identified by me, and 

 further material of all of them is re([uired.
