 in Albizz 

 Calcutta. 



Palorus 

 aterhouse, 

 ia lebbek. 



I cut out a single dead individual of this tenebrionid from a gallery in 

 the wood of a dead siris-tree in the Botanic Gardens 

 in Calcutta towards the end of April 1903. I know 

 nothing further about the insect. 



Xyleborus noxius, Sampson, sp. nov. 



Described on pp. 598-600. 



This insect appears to be also one of the Andamans padauk (Pterocarpus 

 dalbergioides) boring beetles. It has been found tunnelling into the wood in 

 a manner similar to that described under \\lchonts adumbratus (p. 601) and 

 A', laeviusculus (p. 602). 



Xyleborus nilgirensis, llagedorn. 

 Habitat. Andaman Islands. 



Tree Attacked. Padauk (I'lcniair^it^ dalbergioides). Andamans. 



It has quite recently come to my knowledge that specimens of a 

 Xyleborus identified as Hagedorn's uil^ii'oisis have been taken from padauk 

 wood in the Andamans. The insects were reported as tunnelling down into 

 the hard timber.
