'I'wo specimens. Very like X. crassipes, Ohamp., from 

 Ceylon (1915, type cJ)j hut larger, broader, and more robust; 

 the antennte .stouter and wholly black (except at the extreme 

 tip) ; the |)iincturing ot the head stronger ; the elytra bordered 

 with black at the apex, the post-basal depressions shallow. 



Xylophihis varus, sp. n. 



(^ . Moderately elongate, rather broad, shining, finely 

 jMiboscent ; testaceous, the head nigro-piceous ; closely, 

 finely, the elytra a little more coarsely, punctate. Head 

 broader than the prothorax, narrowly extended and subangular 

 behind the eyes, the latter large and separated by a rather 

 narrow space ; antennae very long, about the length of i]w. 

 elytra, not very slender, the joints subcylindrical, 3 about 

 as long as 4 [11 wanting]. Prothorax convex, transverse, 

 narrowed anteriorly, without definite impressions. Elytia 

 moderately long, comparatively broad, subparallel iu their 

 basal half, slightly depressed within the humeri. Legs long 

 [posterior pair wanting] ; ititermediate tibit\3 abruptly bowed

 Pic), the antenn.'c and legs much elonuated, the internu-diate 

 (instead of the anterior) tibia' abiuptly bowed iu ^ . Judging 

 from the structure of its allies, the posterior femora in the 

 ])resent species should be clavate and more or less iid'uscate 

 in the same sex. A smaller ($ , from the Nilgiri Hills (//. L. 

 ■Aiidieicts), now wanting the anteiniio and tlie anterior and 

 ])osterior legs, may belong to the same species : the elytra, 

 liowever, have the suture in part and a sj)ot at the sides 

 bcvond the middle infuscate. A', n'uiroplctus. Champ. (lUlf)),
