various Central American Coleoptera. 101 
impressed lines conspicuous, the eyes not prominent and compara- 
tively small; antennae about as long as the prothorax, joints 3-8 
moniliform, 6-8 transverse. Prothorax about as long as broad, 
subquadrate, slightly widened anteriorly, truncate at the apex, the 
anterior angles obtuse and deflexed, the hind angles rectangular, 
the base finely margined, the foveae almost obsolete; sparsely, 
finely punctate, except along a narrow space down the middle. 
Elytra very elongate, gradually narrowed towards the apex; 
regularly punctate-striate, the interstices flat, the alternate ones 
with a few very widely scattered fine punctures. Tibiae much 
widened outwards, the joints 1-3 of the tarsi broad. 
Length 54 mm. (? 3.) 
Hab. Mexico, Oaxaca (Hége). 
One specimen. Smaller and more shining than H. 
perlongus, and differently coloured, the upper surface 
glabrous, the eyes depressed, much smaller, the thorax 
not longer than broad and sparsely punctate, the elytral 
interstices much smoother. 
[Hapalips parvicollis, n. sp. 
Moderately elongate, rather convex, fusco-ferruginous, the elytra, 
legs, and antennae testaceous, the eyes black; shining, glabrous 
above, very finely pubescent beneath. Head triangular, finely 
punctate, the oblique line on each side of the epistoma distinct, 
the eyes moderately large and prominent; antennae reaching to a 
little beyond the base of the thorax, joints 3-8 comparatively 
slender, 8 transverse, the club moderately large. Thorax small, 
transversely subquadrate, the anterior angles obtuse, the hind 
angles acute; thickly, finely punctate. Elytra moderately long, 
somewhat convex, considerably wider than the thorax, slightly 
rounded at the sides, narrowing from about the middle; finely 
punctate-striate, the interstices faintly punctulate. Leg slender; 
tibiae but little widened outwards. 
Length 37; mm. (9.) 
Hab. Braziu, Rio de Janeiro (coll. Fry, in Mus. Brit.). 
One specimen. This small form is not unlike the insect 
here identified as H. mgriceps, Reitt., but differs from it 
in having the upper surface glabrous and more shining; 
the intermediate joints of the antennae longer and more 
slender; the thorax relatively narrower (and therefore 
less transverse) ; the elytra more convex; and the legs more 
slender. In its general shape H. parvicollis approaches 
H. ervbricollis, Gorh. |
