articulis duobus basalibus vix elongatis, aequalibus, clava majuseulo. 

 Long. G lin. 



Hah. Bahia. 



Suboblong, umber-brown, with minute silaceous remote scales, 

 behind the middle of the elytra a dark brown velvety patch, 

 bordered behind with a narrow line of silaceous scales ; rostrum 

 straight, finely punctured ; antennae pitchy ; first two joints of the 

 funicle scarcely elongate, equal, the last three transverse ; club as 

 long as the last five joints of the funicle together; prothorax 

 slightly transverse, broadest at the base, obsoletely punctured ; 

 scuteUum oblong, covered with sHaceous scales ; elytra considerably 

 broader than the prothorax, flattish at the base, the sides nearly 

 parallel, but suddenly rounded posteriorly, the apex of each sub- 

 acute, the anterior two-thirds obscm-ely punctu.red, the intervals 

 transversely granulate ; body beneath and legs reddish brown, the 

 latter with remote filiform silaceous scales ; tibise rather short, 

 bisinuate. 



In Schonherr's arrangement this species should be 

 placed in the same " centuria " as H. leoninus, trachy- 

 pterus, and other discordant forms ; in facies it is more 

 like H. Faldermanni than any other known to me. 



Hilipus congestus. 



H. oblongo-ovatus, niger, nitidus, maculis numerosis parvis 

 silaceo-squamosis, irroratus ; rostro pedibusque rufis ; prothorace 

 subtransverso, subtiliter punctato ; elytris seriatim punctatis, apice 

 rotundatis. Long. 6 lin.
