HILIPINUS.—TELYS. 61 
are somewhat widely separated ; rostrum moderately stout, curved, a little longer than the prothorax, 
densely, rugosely punctate, carinate, and laterally sulcate, smoother at the tip, in the Q less densely 
punctate, and much smoother in its apical half; joint 2 of the funiculus nearly twice as long as 1. 
Prothorax transverse, rounded at the sides, constricted and much narrowed in front and slightly narrowed 
behind, strongly bisinuate at the base; the surface somewhat closely granulate, a narrow space along the 
middle and a sinuous one on either side excepted, and with an abbreviated median carina, Elytra convex, 
about one-third wider than the prothorax, considerably produced at the apex, subparallel at the base, the 
humeri somewhat angular in front, the apices slightly prominent at the sutural angle; coarsely seriate- 
punctate, and finely granulate, the interstices transversely rugulose. Venter and metasternum almost 
smooth, the first ventral segment depressed down the middle in the male. Tibia obsoletely sulcate or a 
little flattened on their outer edge. 
Length 9-11, breadth 33-42 millim. (3 2.) 
Hab. Guatemaa, Cerro Zunil, Senahu, Sinanja (Champion). 
Six specimens, all more or less abraded. ‘This insect is extremely like H. integellus 
and H. occultus, the general coloration of the elytra being similar; but the tibiz 
are less distinctly sulcate, and the humeri are not so angular in front. The second 
joint of the funiculus is elongate, as in H. occultus, and the grooves on the underside 
of the male rostrum are formed as in that species, these being shallower than in the 
same sex of HH. integellus, in which they are separated by an acute ridge. 
18. Hilipinus ochreopictus, sp.n. (Tab. IV. fig. 24, 2 :) 
Oblong-ovate, shining, the head and prothorax duller, black or piceous ; the prothorax with a small spot on 
each side at the base, and the elytra with one at the shoulder, several others below this, and about six 
clustered together on the disc at some distance before the apex (in one specimen united into a cruciform 
patch), ochreous; the rest of the upper surface clothed with minute fuscous scales; the under surface and 
legs with scattered, narrow, white scales, the propleura with an ochreous spot before the anterior coxe. 
Head thickly punctured, feebly foveate between the narrowly separated eyes; rostrum a little longer than 
the prothorax, stout, curved, rugosely punctured, obsoletely carinate towards the base, and sulcate 
laterally in the ¢, smoother in the 2, the antennal grooves in the male extending shallowly forwards 
beneath for the reception of the basal joints of the funiculus; joint 1 of the funiculus slightly shorter 
than 2. Prothorax broader than long, much narrowed in front, the sides rounded anteriorly and almost 
straight behind; finely and rather sparsely umbilicate-punctate, and with a more or less distinct smooth 
median line. Elytra about one-fourth wider than the prothorax, subparallel below the base, conjointly 
rounded at the apex, the humeri angular in front; coarsely seriate-punctate, the interstices flat and each 
with a single series of minute granules, which become evanescent on the disc before the base. Ventral 
segment 1 depressed down the middle in the male, 5 coarsely punctured. Tibiz more or less sulcate. 
Length 9-11, breadth 34-44 millim. (¢ 2.) 
Hab. Nicaragua, Chontales (Belt, Janson). 
One male and three females. This species somewhat resembles Hilipus trifasciatus 
in general coloration, but is really allied to Hilipinus integellus, the antennal grooves 
in the male extending forwards on the underside of the rostrum for the reception of the 
basal joints of the funiculus, the tibie are sulcate, and the humeri are angular in front. 
TELYS, gen. nov. 
Antenne inserted near the tip of the rostrum in the ¢, and at about one-third from the apex in the 9; 
funiculus 7-jointed, joint 1 much stouter than 2; rostrum much curved and nearly equal in thickness in the
