586 Mr. F. P. Pascoe's additional 



body beneath pitchy, with scattered piliform scales ; legs ferru- 

 ginous ; apex of the femora black ; fore-tibiae grooved. 



This species has the elliptic form of H. cadivus, which 

 is unicolorous, with the elytra transversely rugulose, &c. 



Hilipus frontalis. (PL XVII., fig. 5). 



H. ovatus, fuscus, squamulis silaceis, plerumque adspersis, 

 vestitus ; elytris tuberculatis, squamulis concoloribus dense aggre- 

 gatis, maculis quatuor formautibus, omatis. Long. 6^ lin. 



Hab. Chontales. 



Ovate, brown, with mostly scattered silaceous scales, but con- 

 densed on the front of the head, and forming four round patches 

 on the elytra ; rostrum moderately stout, slightly cui'ved, the basal 

 half with a few large punctures; antennte pitchy; second joint of 

 the funicle longer than the first, the remainder together shorter 

 than the club ; prothorax transverse, well-rounded at the sides, the 

 disc with a short indistinct ridge behind the apex, and several 

 rather large black glossy granules ; scutellum narrowly triangular ; 

 elytra broadest at the base, moderately convex, with many glossy 

 larger reddish, more or less conical, tubercles, irregularly disposed 

 on the interspaces of the striae, the latter most apparent at the 

 sides, the pre-apical callus studded with three or four smaller 

 tubercles, a patch of scales on the shoulder, another near the 

 suttu-e — anterior to the callus ; body beneath and legs pitchy, with 

 scattered long whitish hairs. 



This species belongs to Schonherr's " Centuria IV." 

 of his second " Stirps," in which there are only two 

 species, H. Freyreissi and H. saxosits ; the latter is 

 unknown to me, and its habitat was unknown to its 

 describer, to whom it was sent by Sommer ; it is said to 

 belike H.prodigialis. A specimen from St. Catharine's, 

 in my collection, has a somewhat similar facies, but it is 

 not quite so convex, the prothorax not granulate, and 

 there are two apical spots on the elytra in addition, with 

 other minor characters which may, or may not, be 

 specific. 



Hilipus latipennis. (PL XVI., fig. 1). 



H. breviter ovatus, modice convexus, rufo-fuscus, grauulis parvis 

 adspersus, elytris pone medium linea albide transversa ornatis ;
