Hilipus lamina. 

 H. sat angnste ovatus, fuscus, subtilissime griseo-squamosus, 

 supra granulatus et tuberculatus ; antennis rafis ; ociilis in maribus 

 fere contiguis ; rostro apicem versus conspicue crassiore. Long. 

 3i— 4 lin. 



Hah. Eio Janeiro. 



Bather narrowly ovate, brovpn (or brown with a reddish hue), 

 covered with minute greyish scales (almost dust-like) ; eyes nearly 

 contiguous in the males; rostrum scarcely longer than the pro- 

 thorax, considerably thicker towards the apex, and roughly punc- 

 tured, principally at the base ; antennae pale rufous ; fanicle 

 slender, the second joint much longer in the male, slightly longer 

 only in the female ; prothorax transverse, somewhat contracted at 

 the base, dotted with several very distinct granules ; scutellum 

 triangular ; elytra broader than the prothorax at the base, slightly 

 narrowed towards the rounded apex, seriate-punctate (punctures 

 nearly obsolete in the female), irregularly tuberculate, tubercles 

 varying in size, a few on the middle of each elytron united and 

 forming a longiti;dinal crest ; body beneath and legs blackish, the 

 latter clothed with long li air-like scales. 



Mr. Fry has several specimens of this species taken 

 by himself at PJo. They were, I think, nearly all 

 males ; some of them had a concave plate covering the 

 two basal segments of the abdomen, but with the edges, 

 except at the base, considerably raised. One of these, 

 from which I have drawn the above description, was 

 kindly given me by Mr. Fry. I have a pair ( S" and ? ), 

 found by the late Eev. Hamlet Clarke at Petropolis, in 

 which there is no trace of this remarkable structure.

Hab. Brazil. 



Oblong, subovate, reddish-pitchy, each side densely covered 

 with pale silaceous scales, forming a broad irregular sti'ipe ; rostrum 

 pitchy, slender, not longer than the prothorax, finely punctured, a 

 slightly raised line on each side at the base ; antennae rufous ; 

 funicle elongate, the second joint half as long again as the first, the
