H. tricolor will give a good idea of the style of colora- 

 tion of this species, although the colours are somewhat 

 different. It might at first be easily mistaken for H. 

 hasiliscus, figured on PI. XYL, fig. 4. 



Hilipus ocularis. (PL XVIL, fig. 2). 

 H. sat breviter ovatus, convexus, niger, guttis parvis albidis 

 aspersus ; oculis approximatis ; rostro subtenue, punctiilato ; 

 antennis rufis ; fiiniculo articulis, duobus basalibus subovalibus ; 

 elytris seriatim granulatis. Long. 5 lin. 



Hah. Sarayacu ; Ega. 



Rather shortly ovate, convex, black, dotted with small remote 

 spots composed of whitish scales ; eyes large, ovate, approximate 

 above ; rostrum somewhat slender, slightly curved, faintly punc- 

 tured, the basal half sharply ridged ; antennae reddish ferruginous ; 

 the two basal joints of the funicle nearly equal, the rest more or 

 less transverse, the club as long as the rest — except the first — 

 together ; prothorax not so long as broad at the base, strongly and 

 closely punctiu'ed ; scutellum round ; elytra broader at the base 

 than the prothorax, narrower posteriorly and well-rounded at the 

 apex, seriate-punctate, punctures crowded, coarse, intermixed with 

 glossy granules, the intervals with a few minute slender silaceous 

 scales ; body beneath and femora pitchy ; tibiae rufescent, faintly 

 bisinuate. 



A short convex species, the eyes nearly contiguous 

 above, as in H. guttatus, to which it is allied ; but it 

 wants the large patches on the prothorax and elytra, 

 the latter are broader and more rugose, and the apex is 

 not narrowly rounded as in that species. Boheman 

 gives Cuba as the habitat of H. guttatus ; my specimens 

 are from St. Domingo and Chontales. 



Hilijjus ohtusus. 

 H. ovatus, niger, silaceo-squamosus, supra tuberculatus ; rostro 

 elongate, tenuato, vix arcuato, subtihter remote punctato ; elytris 

 postice subtruncatis, in medio utrinque fusco-nebulosis. Long. 

 5 lin. 



Hah. St. Catharine's. 



Ovate, black, with minute approximate, silaceous or greyish 

 scales ; rostrum slender, almost straight, nearly twice as long as 

 the prothorax, minutely and remotely punctured ; antennae 

 testaceous, with numerous grevish setaceous scales ; funicle with
