HEMILYPUS. 27 
1. Hemilypus latipes, sp. n. (Tab. I. fig. 22.) 
Niger, nitidus, parce pilosus; antennis fusco-testaceis, clava nigro-fusca; prothorace sat angustato, crebrius 
punctato ; elytris regulariter seriatim punctatis. 
Long. cum rostro 7 millim. 
Hab. Mexico, Tuxtla (Sallé), Juquila (Hége). 
Rostrum short, about as long as the head, the latter between the eyes, also the vertex, 
sparingly punctate. Antenne very slender, infuscate yellow, with the slender club 
darker, the terminal joint not quite so long as the tenth. Thorax narrow, rather longer 
than broad, moderately coarsely and closely punctate, shining. Elytra with regular 
series of distant punctures, which on the declivous apex are very fine, and with a few 
excessively fine punctures on the interstices; the upright setosity is very conspicuous but 
scanty. Legs broad, very hairy. Under surface feebly cyaneous; femora with white 
hairs; sides of the breast clothed with some white hair. 
I do not see any striking sexual distinctions among the three individuals we have 
received. One specimen has the thorax a little broader and the eyes slightly smaller, 
and may be a female. 
2. Hemilypus sallzi, sp. n. 
Nigerrimus, nitidus, parce pilosus; antennis fusco-testaceis, clava nigro-fusca ; prothorace angustiore, anterius 
leviter angustato, parce punctato; elytris regulariter seriatim punctatis, punctis subtilioribus, tantum ad 
basin sat magnis. 
Long. cum rostro 6 millim. 
Hab. Mexico, Toxpam (Sal/é). 
Very closely allied to H. latipes, but differing as follows:—The size is smaller, the 
thorax is narrower and more sparingly punctate, and the vertex and the head between 
the eyes are also sparingly punctate; the punctures in the series of the elytra are finer, 
and the pallid pubescence of the under surface is less. Three specimens, in bad 
preservation. 
3. Hemilypus hondurensis, sp. n. 
Nigerrimus, nitidus, parce pilosus, antennis medio fusco-testaceis; prothorace conico-cylindrico, parcius 
obsolete punctato ; elytris seriatim subtiliter punctatis. 
Long. cum rostro 43 millim. 
Hab. British Honpuras, R. Hondo (Blancaneauz). 
This insect is very similar to H. latipes and to H. sallei, except that it is much 
smaller and has more slender legs. The rostrum is quite short, not so long as the head ; 
the terminal joint of the antenne is not so long as the tenth joint. The eyes are large, 
and in front are strongly convergent, the space between them sparingly and finely punc- 
tate. The thorax is long and narrow, a good deal narrowed in front; its punctuation
