LONGICORNIA. 251 
breviter, 3° paullo longius, spinosis ; thorace transversim irregulariter ruguloso; elytris punctulatis, juxta 
suturam (¢) depressis, apice utrinque sinuato-truncatis et longe bispinosis. 
Long. 11-15 lin. ¢ 9. 
Hab. Mexico (Sallé), Jalapa (Hége). 
The structural characters of this remarkable species are very similar to those of 
Hf. villosus; the antenn have no trace of carine or grooves on the dorsal surface of 
their joints, and the hind tibie are simple. The laid ashy pile, which is much inter- 
rupted by spotted bare spaces, has a silvery lustre in certain lights. 
14. Hypermallus glabriusculus. 
H. scabricolli (Bates) affinissimus, sed differt elytris recte truncatis angulo suturali recto, nec profunde sinuatis 
utrinque bispinosis. Gracilis, castaneo-fuscus, toto corpore glaber (fronte, scutello, guttisque duabus 
thoracis et interdum elytrorum, ochraceo-tomentosis exceptis), setis cinereis suberectis passim vestitus ; 
antennis pedibusque castaneo-rufis; thorace cylindrico prope angulos anticos subito angustato; elytris 
subcylindricis versus apicem angustatis, apice recte truncatis, angulo suturali subacuto exteriori longe 
spinoso, dorso crebre, versus apicem subtilius et sparsius, punctatis; pectore grosse punctato; antennis 
art. 3° longe, 4°-6" brevissime, spinosis; thorace linea lata dorsali levi; in ¢ utrinque creberrime 
punctulato, plaga antica dorsali grosse punctata; in Q grossissime (lateribus confluenter) punctata. 
Long. 5-63 lin. ¢ @. 
Hab. Panama, Bugaba (Champion). 
Besides the mode of truncature of the elytra, this species differs from the closely 
allied H. scabricollis (the type specimen of which is a female) in the thorax of the 
female not being alveolate-punctate, the whole body much more thinly pubescent, and 
the elytra having very much fewer specks of tomentum. 
15. Hypermallus ——? 
Hab. Mexico, Jalapa (Hége). 
A single specimen of an obscure species with rounded apices to the elytra; 
% =H. (Elaphidion) spurcus, Lec. 
16. Hypermallus ——? 
Hab. British Honpuras (Blancaneauz). 
A single specimen in bad condition, but evidently distinct from all the other Central- 
American species here recorded. 
17. Hypermallus misellus. 
Minus linearis, convexus, fuscus ; elytris, antennis, pedibus ventroque rufescentibus ; sat zqualiter griseo-fulvo 
pubescens elytrisque dense erecte pilosis; thorace sat angusto, cylindrico-ovato (¢), sparsim punctulato, 
plaga magna utrinque, basali et altera minori discoidali grosse punctatis vel foveolatis; scutello conco- 
lori; elytris prope apicem rotundato-angustatis, apice truncatis, angulo exteriori obtuso, suturali acuto, 
supra sat crebre punctato, versus basin grossius ibique punctis hic illic subseriatis. 
Long. 53 lin. ¢. 
Hab. Guatemaa, Mirandilla (Champion).
