 punctis majusculis remote instructis. Long. 7 lin. 



Hah. Brazil. 



Moderately oblong, reddisli-pitchy, variegated v?itli large patches 

 of silaceous, mostly rounded, scales ; rostrum and legs rufous ; 

 head w^ith a transverse linear impression between the eyes ; rostrum 

 rather stout, roughly and closely punctured ; antennae ferruginous ; 

 two basal joints of the funicle equal and nearly as long as the rest 

 together ; prothorax as long as broad, the sides very slightly 

 rounded, except anteriorly, on each side an irregular silaceous 

 stripe, and at the base a few transverse granules ; scutellum small, 

 oblong, rufous ; elytra considerably broader than the prothorax, 

 the sides, except behind, nearly parallel, the apex of each rounded, 

 on each side two large indented silaceous patches, the posterior 

 behind the middle, with a few small spots towards the suture ; 

 body beneath pitchy, spotted at the sides. 



H. comptus is a longer species, black and opaque, the 

 prothorax and elytra minutely punctured, with a larger, 

 round, black scutellum, &c. 



Hillpus fimhriatus. (PL XVII., fig. 1). 

 H. oblongus, fuscus, squamulis griseis vestitus, plagis (circa

Hah. Brazil. 



Oblong, brown, opaque, covered with small greyish scales, varied 

 with fine large dark brown velvety patches ; rostrum moderately 

 stout, the base with three raised lines ; antennae pitchy ; two basal 

 joints of the funicle elongate, equal, the last four rounded; club 

 not half the length of the funicle ; prothorax nearly as long as 

 broad, obsoletely punctured, the middle with a raised longitudinal 

 line> the sides with a broad velvety stripe naargined above and 

 below with a line of silaceous scales ; scutellum punctiform ; elytra 

 broader than the prothorax, gradually narrower behind, the apex 

 narrowly rounded, the base with two small patches, the side with 

 a large one curved beneath, and another transverse towards the 

 apex, all finely margined with silaceous scales ; body beneath and 

 legs rather closely covered with dull greyish scales, setae inter- 

 mixed ; tibiae slender, faintly bisinuate. 



This species may serve to recall H. jocosus : it is 

 remarkable for its small club, not so long as the last 

 four joints of the slender funicle taken together.
