HILIPINUS. 57 
than the prothorax, curved, very stout, rugosely punctured except at the tip, sulcate laterally, the antennal 
grooves in the ¢ extending sinuously forwards beneath ; joint 1 of the funiculus slightly shorter than 2. 
Prothorax broader than long, rounded at the sides, considerably narrowed in front and slightly so behind ; 
granulate, and sometimes with an abbreviated median carina, Elytra moderately long, a little flattened 
on the disc, subparallel at the base, about one-third wider than the prothorax, the humeri rounded 
externally and subangular in front, the apices somewhat produced and with the sutural angle pointed ; 
yery coarsely seriate-punctate, the interstices narrow and more or less granulate. Tibie more or less 
sulcate along their outer edge. First ventral segment sulcate down the middle in the male. 
Length 9-134, breadth 33-5} millim. (¢ 9.) 
Hab. Guatremata, El Tumbador and Cerro Zunil, 4000 to 5000 feet (Champion). 
Found in plenty on the Pacific slope. A close ally of H. integellus (Boh.), but with 
very different and much more definite whitish markings, these consisting of two sharply- 
limited spots or fascie on each elytron and a submarginal vitta on either side of the 
prothorax. . 
10. Hilipinus humeralis, sp.n. (Tab. IV. fig. 18, ¢ .) 
Oblong-ovate, subopaque, piceous or rufo-piceous ; the prothorax with an oblique vitta on each side, and the 
elytra with a small spot at the shoulder and a large triangular one below it (the two often coalescent 
and forming a short curved stripe), as well as a broad transverse fascia on the disc some distance before 
the apex, whitish or pale ochreous ; the rest of the upper surface clothed with minute scattered ochreous 
scales ; the under surface and legs with scattered, narrow, white scales, the cilia at the apex of the four 
hinder tibia ochreous. Head closely punctured, not or obsoletely foveate between the eyes, which are 
somewhat widely separated ; rostrum about one-third longer than the prothorax, curved, very stout, 
rugosely punctured, except at the tip, suleate laterally; joint 1 of the funiculus slightly shorter than 2. 
Prothorax much broader than long, rounded at the sides, narrowed and constricted in front and slightly 
narrowed behind; granulate, and with a smooth median carina. Elytra moderately long, subparallel at 
the base, about one-third wider than the prothorax, the humeri rounded externally and subangular in 
front, the apices somewhat produced and with the sutural angle pointed; very coarsely seriate-punctate, 
the interstices granulate. First ventral segment sulcate down the middle in the male. Tibis obsoletely 
sulcate on their outer edge. 
Length 84-114, breadth 33-5 millim. (¢ 2.) 
Hab. Guatemata, Cerro Zunil, Purula (Champion). 
Found in numbers at Cerro Zunil with H. quadrimaculatus, of which at first sight it 
would appear to be nothing more than a varietal form; apart, however, from the 
additional humeral spot, which is often confluent with the second one, the prothorax is 
more transverse, and the subapical fascia on the elytra is much broader, forming a large 
transverse-oval patch on the middle of the disc. 
11. Hilipinus integellus, (Tab. IV. fig. 19, 2.) 
Heilipus integellus, Boh. in Schénh. Gen. Cure. vii. 2, p. 44 (2) °. 
Hab. Mexico!, Toxpam (Sailé); GuaTemaLa, Purula in Vera Paz (Champion) ; 
Panama, Volcan de Chiriqui (Champion). . 
This is one of several closely allied forms, distinguishable by the antennal grooves 
extending forward along the middle of the rostrum beneath, the more or less sulcate
