Ipidae and Platypodida: 'from India and Burma. il5 



Xyltborus no.vius, sp. n. 



$ • Oblongus, subnitidus, nigro-piceus, prothorace subquadrato, 

 lateribus et apice leviter singulation rotundatis, dorso gibboso, 

 postice subtavi ; elytris lineato-punctatis, interstitiis planis, 

 8eriato-setosis, declivitate obliqua, subnitida, subtus acute 

 marginata, striis ad apicem vix sinuatis, interstitiis granulis 

 elevatia parvie post medium aequaliter notatis. 



Long. 2-5 mm. 



Loc. S. Malabar, Madras (E. P. Stebbing). 



Oblong, shiny, pale piceous, sparsely hairy. Front 

 convex, strongly punctured, with an indistinct median longi- 

 tudinal line. Prothorax subquadiate, although with sides and 

 apex slightly rounded, obtusely angled at base, anteriorly 

 granulate-asperate, posteriorly shining and very finely reti- 

 culate and punctate. Scutellum shiny, black, and triangular. 

 Elytra as wide as the prothorax, but hardly any longer, the 

 sides subparallel, bluntly rounded at the apex, with a very 

 slight acute margin ; surface cylindrical to about the middle 

 and from there obliquely declivous, the punctures shallow 

 and variolose, and the interstices flat with uni seriate piliferous 

 punctures, becoming tuberculate before the declivity, which 

 is very slightly less shining than the rest of the elytra. 



This species is almost exactly similar to X. andamanensis, 

 Blandf., and can only be separated from the latter by its 

 shorter and much narrower figure and the shiny and more 

 abrupt declivity. 



Xyloterus intermedins, sp. n. 



J . Oblongus, brunneus, pilis longis adspersis, fronte depressa, 

 clava antennarum ovali ; prothorace depresso, subtiliter asperato ; 

 elytris unicoloribus, subtiliter liueato-punctatis, interstitiis 

 multipunctatis, apice obtuso.

$ . Oblongus, brunneus, fronte subconvexa, clava antennarum 

 ovali ; prothorace subgloboso, dorso ultra medium gibboso,

 mari. 

 Long. 3*5 mm. 



Loc. Bashahr State, N.W. Himalayas {E.P. Stebbing), 

 Male. — Head brown, front slightly concave and pubescent, 

 coarsely punctured, two depressions just above the epistoma 

 separated by a median longitudinal carina; eyes bipartite; 

 the antenna] scape and funiculus, in most specimens, darker 

 than the club, which is closely covered with pale pubescence,
