446 Lt.-Col. Winn Sampson on 



solid, obtusely rounded apically; prothorax brown, trans- 

 verse and depressed, constricted in front and without 

 tubercles on the anterior margin, apex and sides clothed 

 with Iongish hairs, the whole surface finely asperate. 

 Scutellum bluntly triangular. Elytra the same colour as 

 the prothorax and not quite twice as long, very slightly 

 narrower than the prothorax at its greatest width, sides sub- 

 parallel, apex obtusely rounded, surface with long hairs, 

 especially towards the sides and apex, finely lineate-punctate, 

 interstices irregularly and closely punctured. 



Female. — Head brown, front subconvex and pubescent, the 

 sculpture similar to that of the male ; prothorax subglobose, 

 apical margin bituberculate and the anterior part strongly 

 asperate, whilst the posterior portion is only slightly rugose. 

 Scutellum similar to that of the male. Elytra lineate- 

 punctate, the punctures rather more distinct towards the base, 

 interstices irregularly punctured. Underside less hairy than 

 in the male. 



From the description this species seems to be allied to 

 Xyloterus {Trypodendron) unicolor, Eichl., but is broader, 

 with more regular elytral punctuations, and having the 

 prothorax and elytra of a uniform colour, &c. From 

 X. (Trypodendron) pubipenne, Blandf., it is distinguished by 

 its less elongate form, difference in colour, absence of anterior 

 constriction of the prothorax in the female, &c.

Loc. Kali Pohri, Darjeeling (II. Stevens). 



Head produced into a flattened rostrum, expanded laterally 

 at the apex into two broad triangular processes hollowed out 

 on the dorsal surface, a strong central longitudinal carina 

 extends the whole length of the head, having on each side, 

 at the apex, an area of coarse irregular longitudinal rugosities 

 becoming finer between the upper divisions of the eyes, which 

 are longitudinally oval with small portions extending slightly 

 round the sides of the head towards the under divisions of 

 the eyes. Antenna} with the scape and funiculus ferrugi-
