HYMENORUS. 431 
Hab. Guatemaua, Capetillo (Champion). 
Seven examples. A species easily recognized on account of the very large and 
approximate eyes and the sinuous posterior tibie in the male. JH. tibialis in its large 
eyes resembles H. oculatus, but is much smaller and much less elongate, and also 
differs in its shorter legs and antenne; it has the third joint of the antenne slightly 
shorter than the fourth in both sexes. 
14. Hymenorus hispidulus. (Tab. XX. fig. 1.) 
Oblong ovate, brownish-piceous, slightly shining, thickly clothed with long coarse pubescence. Head coarsely 
and sparsely punctured, the epistoma smoother; eyes very large, approximate in the male, narrowly 
separated in the female; antennz stout, rather short, the joints very little widened towards their apex, 
ferruginous ; prothorax transverse, rather convex, the sides rounded and narrowing in front and straight 
behind, the hind angles sharply rectangular, the base strongly bisinuate, the basal fovex indistinctly 
indicated, the disc unimpressed, the surface densely and somewhat coarsely punctured; scutellum closely 
punctured; elytra moderately long, very distinctly wider than the prothorax at the base, rather coarsely 
punctate-striate, the interstices feebly convex, flatter on the disc, and sparsely and somewhat coarsely 
punctured; beneath sparsely punctured; legs rather stout, ferruginous, the first joint of the hind tarsi 
longer than the following joints united. 
3. Posterior tibiz feebly sinuate within. Fifth ventral segment shallowly foveolate in the middle. The 
lateral lobes of the last ventral segment narrowly separated, parallel, very long and slender, curved a little 
downwards, and almost pointed; the central sheath at the extreme apex a little widened and somewhat 
broadly rounded. (Fig. 1.) 
Length 6-63 millim.; breadth 23-23 millim. (¢ 9.) 
Hab. Muxico, Cordova (Sallé), Jalapa (Hage). 
Four examples. This insect is distinguished from its allies by the long and coarse 
pubescence of the upper surface. It is allied to H. foveiventris (the male characters 
being somewhat similar), but is broader, and has larger and more approximate eyes in 
the male, much coarser pubescence, stouter legs, and the posterior tibia undilated 
within in the male. Worn examples of the female are difficult to distinguish from 
the corresponding sex of WH. tibialis; the thorax, however, is more finely and still 
more densely punctured and relatively broader in H. tibialis; the males differ 
considerably. 
15. Hymenorus forreri. 
Oblong ovate, dull reddish-brown, suffused above with piceous, the elytra slightly shining, thickly clothed 
with long, coarse pubescence. Head sparsely and rather finely punctured; eyes (¢) very large and 
approximate; antenne stout, rather short, ferruginous; prothorax transverse, convex, broad, the sides 
very strongly rounded and converging from a little before the base, the hind angles subrectangular, the 
base rather strongly bisinuate, the surface very densely and somewhat coarsely punctured; elytra 
moderately long, as wide as the prothorax at the base, coarsely and deeply punctate-striate, the 
interstices rather convex and sparsely and somewhat coarsely punctured; beneath reddish, shining, the 
ventral surface sparsely and finely, the metasternum coarsely and more closely, punctured; legs rather 
stout, ferruginous, the first joint of the hind tarsi longer than the following joints united. 
Length 6 millim.; breadth 23 millim. (¢.) 
Hab. Muxtco, Ventanas in Durango (forrer).
