96 Mr. G. ©. Champion’s Notes on 
Thallisella conradti, Gorh., Biol. Centr.-Am., Coleopt. vii, 
p. 249 (1898) [sub Erotylidae]. 
Additional localities for P. kirschi are :— 
Mexico, Tupataro (Hége), Guanajuato (Sallé), Cordova 
(Sallé, Hoge), Mitla (Deam, in U.S. Nat. Mus.); Guatr- 
MALA, (Sallé) Senahu, Cahabon, San Juan, Panima, San 
Gerdnimo, and Balheu in Vera Paz, Capetillo (Champion), 
Trece Aguas, Santa Lucrecia (Barber and Schwarz, in U.S. 
Nat. Mus.). The above synonymy has already been noted 
by me (Ent. Monthly Mag. xl, p. 36). The insect has been 
found in corn (maize) in Guatemala. 
HAPALIPS. 
Hapalips, Reitter, Verh. Ver. Briinn, Abhandl. xv, p. 122 
(1877) [sub Rhizophagidae]; Gorham, Biol. Centr.- 
Am., Coleopt. vu, p. 250 (1898) [sub Erotylidae, 
Langurides]; Grouvelle, Ann. Soc. Ent. Fr. 1908, 
p. 58 [sub Cryptophagidae]. 
Gorham’s enumeration of the Central American species 
of this genus was based upon insufficient material, nearly 
all the examples obtained by myself having been mislaid 
when our collections were sorted, and were therefore not 
seen by him. These insects have since been found, and a 
complete revision of the various forms has become neces- 
sary. The unnamed American specimens in the collections 
of Fry and Pascoe at the British Museum have also been 
studied. Upwards of 20 species of Hapalips have been 
described altogether, by Reitter, Gorham, Grouvelle, and 
Schaeffer, one of which is African (H. eichelbaumi, Grouv.), 
and Xenoscelis prolixus, Sharp, an insect found in tree- 
ferns, must be included in it as here understood. The 
tarsi are described by both Reitter and Gorham as 4-jointed, 
whereas they are really pentamerous (as in the Cucujid 
genus Xenoscelis, Woll.), the minute penultimate joint 
being hidden in the lobe of the third joint; the three basal 
joints are short, more or less widened, and spongy-pubescent 
and pilose beneath. The tibiae are very obliquely trun- 
cated at the apex, much widened and angularly dilated at 
the outer apical angle in some of the larger species, narrow 
in the small forms. The first ventral segment is sometimes 
hollowed on each side for the reception of the hind femora, 
but I am unable to detect the raised cariniform lines men- 
tioned by Gorham and Grouvelle. The resemblance to
