various Central American Coleoptera. 103 
H. gracilicornis, but the intermediate joints of the antennae 
in H. cribricollis are apparently more transverse than in 
that insect. The prothorax often has a longitudinal 
vitta on each side of the disc, and the elytra a more or 
less distinct, common, oblique post-median fascia, infuscate 
or black. 
*Hapalips perlongus, n. sp. (Plate III, fig. 11, ¢.) 
Very elongate, depressed, gradually narrowing posteriorly, 
shining, very finely alutaceous, black, the head, thorax, and base 
of the antennae nigro-piceous, the tips of the tarsi and a large 
elongate humeral patch on each elytron ferruginous; somewhat 
thickly clothed with rather long, fine, yellowish hairs. Head 
triangular, feebly convex, thickly, finely punctate, bifoveate between 
the points of insertion of the antennae, the impressed oblique lines 
short, the eyes moderately large and prominent; antennae rather 
stout, barely as long as the prothorax, joints 4-8 transverse and 
moniliform. Thorax oblong-subquadrate, longer than _ broad, 
sharply margined at the sides and base, truncate at the apex, the 
sides faintly emarginate before the acute hind angles, the anterior 
angles rounded and not prominent, the basal foveae very shallow; 
closely, finely punctate, except along a narrow space down the 
middle. Elytra very elongate, gradually narrowed towards the 
apex; regularly punctate-striate, the dorsal interstices with a few 
scattered punctures, the sides, apex, and suture closely punctate. 
Tibiae much widened outwards, the joints 1-3 of the tarsi broad. 
Length 7; mm. (3.) 
Hab. GuaTEMALA, Senahu in Alta Vera Paz (Champion). 
One specimen, somewhat abraded above. A very 
elongate, black form, with a large oblong rufous humeral 
patch on each elytron; the thorax longer than broad, 
and closely punctate, except along the median line; the 
tibiae much widened outwards. The latero-basal emargin- 
ation of the thorax is preceded by a minute tooth. 
Hapalips reatterv. 
Hapalips reitteri, Gorh., Biol. Centr.-Am., Coleopt. vil, 
p. 251. 
This insect is very like the ferruginous form of H. 
fuscus, Reitt. (parallelus, Gorh.), but it is more elongate 
and much larger, and the joints of the antennae preceding 
the club are moniliform. The head is short, and the eyes
