I have compared the Central-American female examples with a specimen of the same 
sex from Texas. There are considerable differences in the reticulate-punctuation 
of the thorax and the width of the smooth longitudinal vitta, but the differences are 
not constant, and with the material before me it is impossible to do other than consider 
all as belonging to one and the same species. The male, as in H. truncatus, to 
which H. inermis is most nearly allied, has a quite different thoracic sculpture, close 
and fine, with rather larger punctures intermixed. 
9. Hypermallus grisescens. 
H. inermi proxime affinis, sed differt elytris pube cinerea sat dense vestitis, thoraceque nigro opaco, in ? rugulis 
tenuibus curvatis, spatioque abbreviato discoidali polito ; elytris apice acute sat late truncatis.

Hab. Mexico, Jalapa (Hoge); Guatemaua, Pantaleon, Torola (Champion). 
Very closely allied to H. inermis and H. truncatus. It differs at first sight in the 
tomentum on the elytra being ashy, instead of tawny-brown, in colour, and in being 
condensed into patches, which cover nearly the whole elytra, browner specks being 
interspersed, and a longer brown spot being conspicuous on the sides, a little behind 
the middle. The thorax is more oval, and the centra] polished space in both sexes 
does not extend to the front edge, but forms a short line only near the middle.
