106 Mr. G. C. Champion’s Notes on 
[Hapalvps batesi, n. sp. 
Elongate, depressed, narrowing posteriorly, shining, ferruginous, 
the eyes black; almost glabrous above, the margins of the thorax 
and elytra only with a few fine hairs. Head broad, subtriangular, 
finely punctate, the oblique impressed line on each side of the 
epistoma conspicuous, the eyes large; antennae short, stout, joints 
4-8 transverse, the club large. Thorax subquadrate, nearly as 
long as broad, the hind angles somewhat acute, the base feebly, 
the sides more sharply margined, the basal foveae distinct ; sparsely, 
finely punctate, except along a narrow smooth space down the 
middle. Elytra elongate, narrowing towards the apex; punctate- 
striate, the interstices almost smooth. Beneath very sparsely, 
finely punctate; fifth ventral segment shallowly foveate in the 
middle before the apex. Legs short, stout, the tibiae triangular, 
the anterior pair acutely produced at the outer apical angle; joints 
1-3 of the tarsi broad. 
Length 44mm. (¢.) 
Hab. Amazons, Ega (Bates, in Mus. Brit.). 
One specimen, labelled ‘‘ Temesia batesti, Pasc., type,” 
in the Pascoe collection, but I cannot find a published 
description of the insect. It is very like a Rhizophagus. 
The broad head; the stout antennae; the finely punc- 
tate, subquadrate thorax; the punctate-striate, attenuate 
elytra; the triangular tibiae; the clear ferruginous colour ; 
and the almost glabrous upper surface readily distinguish 
H. batesi. The type is perhaps somewhat rubbed on the 
dorsal surface, as some fine hairs are still present along 
the margins. | 
[Hapalips brevipes, n. sp. 
Elongate, depressed, narrowing posteriorly, testaceous, the eyes 
black; shining, finely pubescent. Head triangular, short, closely, 
rather coarsely punctate, the oblique groove on each side of the 
epistoma conspicuous, the eyes moderately large and prominent ; 
antennae with joints 4-8 short, 7 and 8 transverse, the club abrupt. 
Thorax subquadrate, slightly broader than long, the sides sharply, 
and the base obsoletely, margined, the anterior angles obtuse and 
in line with the apical margin; rather coarsely, closely, uniformly, 
punctate, the basal foveae barely traceable. Elytra moderately 
long, about as wide as the thorax, gradually narrowing from a 
little below the base; regularly punctate-striate, the interstices 
impunctate. Legs short, the tibiae gradually widening outwards. 
Length 44 mm.
