APPENDIX. 







prothorax, closely punctate, except down the middle and on the apical portion. Prothorax transverse, 

 rounded at the sides, constricted and much narrowed in front, deeply bisinuate at the base ; coarsely, 

 rather closely granulate. Elytra broad, parallel at the base ; seriate-punctate, the interstices each with 

 an interrupted series of somewhat closely placed large and small smooth granules. Tibiae mucronate at 

 the inner apical angle. 



Length 14, breadth 6f millim. 



Hab. Nicaragua, Chontales (Janson, in coll. Fry). 



One specimen. Closely related to the somewhat widely distributed H. intensns 9 

 Pasc, but easily separable therefrom by the more elongate, differently-shaped, velvety 

 patch on the elytra, the pateh bordered along the inner edge only by a pallid line 

 (the line extending sinuously forwards on to the prothorax), the coarser and closer 

 granulation of the surface, &c.

HILIPINUS (pp. 61, 718). 



19. Hilipinus biannulatus, sp 



(Tab. VIII. figg. 24, 24 



?•) 



2 . Oblong-ovate, moderately shining, nigro-piceous ; the head with a line around the eyes, the prothorax 

 with a narrow, oblique, submarginal vitta on each side, the elytra each with two very large, loop-like, 

 subangular annuli on the disc (the anterior one extending forwards to the base and the other to the 

 apex), some small spots on the seriate punctures, and a sinuous streak along the outer margin towards 

 the apex, and the sides of the body beneath with various streaks and small spots, densely clothed with 

 imbricate ochreous scales ; the legs and under surface with small scattered hair-like scales. Rostrum 

 moderately stout, curved, about as long as the head and prothorax, somewhat closely punctate. Prothorax 

 strongly transverse, obliquely narrowing from the base, the latter feebly bisinuate ; sparsely granulate 

 and feebly carinate, the interspaces shallowly, minutely punctate. Elytra moderately elongate, broadly 

 produced at the apex, sinuate at the base, the humeri obliquely truncated and projecting a little forwards ; 

 seriate-punctate, feebly granulate at the base and apex, the interstices excessively minutely punctate, the 

 punctures each bearing an extremely minute fuscous scale. Tibiae mucronate at the inner apical angle, 

 the claw arising from about the middle of the apical margin. 



Length 12, breadth 4^ millim. 



Hab. Panama, Chiriqui (coll. Fry, in Mus. Brit.). 



One specimen 



This 



species superficially resembles Hilip 



(except that 



has only two large ochreous subang 



annuli on each elytron), but differs from 



in the mucronate inner apical angle of the tibiae, the excavate base of the elytra, &c 

 The rostrum is doubtless bisulcate beneath in the male.
