some Eastern XylophUids. 401 



encli with three small fuscous spots — one on the disc below 

 tlie base and two placed transversely at about tlie apical third ; 

 closely, finely, the prothoiax densely, the elytra ratlier 

 coarsely, punctnred. Head very broad, truncate at the base, 

 narrowly extended on each side behind the eyes, the latter 

 large, distant ; antennre comparatively short, rather stout, 

 joint 3 about as long as 4, 11 stout, obliquely acuminate. 

 Prothorax transverse, rounded at the sides anteriorly, canali- 

 culate down the middle of the disc. Elvtra rather short, 

 wider than the head, with a shallow oblique post-humeral 

 depression. Anterior tibiae feebly curved ; posterior legs 

 comparatively short, the femora stout, clavate, the tibite 

 slightly widened, the basal joint of the posterior tarsi curved, 

 thickened. 



Length 2 mm. 



Ilah. Philippines, Mt. Makiling in Luzon (C. F.Baker). 



One specimen, assumed to be J" on account of the curved 

 anterior tibite. More elongate than the Bornean X. immacidi- 

 pennis, Champ. (1915), the antennaj and legs stouter, the 

 elytra each with three small fuscous spots. Less elongate 

 than X. undidatiis, Champ. (1915), from Penang, the head 

 rufescent, the elytra shorter and differently marked. X. sulci- 

 thorax, Pic (1914), also from the Philippines, is said to have 

 a similarly canaliculate prothorax, but it differs in other 

 respects. 



Xijlophihis philippinus, sp. n. 



(J . Moderately elongate, shining (when denuded), pruinose; 

 tesiuceous, the eyes black ; closely, finely punctate. Head 

 broad, transverse, much developed behind the eyes, the post- 

 ocular portion (as seen from above) about equalling them in 

 length; eyes moderately large, distant; anteimse slender, 

 long, joint 3 small, not longer than 2, 11 obliquely acuminate. 

 Protiiorax transversely quadrate, narrowed in front. Elytra 

 njoderately long, about twice as wide as the prothorax, suh- 

 ))arallel in their basal half, flattened on the disc anteriorly. 

 L< gs long; anterior tibife curved, angularly dilated at about 

 their outer third (appearing strongly sinuate within) ; poste- 

 rior femora thickened, hollowed along their lower face; basal 

 joint of posterior tarsi very elongate, slender. 



Length 2i mm. 



IJab. Philippines, Basilan Island {C. F. Baker). 



One male, perhaps slightly immature. The broad post- 

 ocular portion of the head, rather small eyes, slender tmtennje,
