various Central American Coleoptera. Iii 
of the Mexican species in the “‘ Biol. Centr.-Americana.”’ The 
locality given by Reitter was simply ‘‘ Mexico.” We have 
received examples of both sexes from Tehuacan, Puebla. 
The male has a compressed, oblong, cariniform prominence 
at the middle of the angularly produced anterior margin 
of the thorax (as in the Texan H. texanus, Schaeffer), and 
a tubercle on each side of the disc towards the apex; and 
the epistoma of the head tumid between the oblique 
impressed lines. H. growveller, Gorh., from St. Vincent and 
Grenada, and H. angulosus, Grouv., from Guadeloupe, 
have a somewhat similarly shaped thorax in the male. 
H. angulosus is recorded as having been found in the 
flowers of a cactus, Cereus triangularis.

Hapalips grouvellei, Gorh., Proc. Zool. Soc. Lond. 1898, 
p. 334, pl. 27, figs. 11, lla (8), 12 (9). 
Described from a long series from the Antillean islands 
of Grenada and St. Vincent. There is a male of it from 
Trinidad in the Fry collection. ] 
|Hapalips sculpticollis, n. sp. (Plate III, fig. 14, thorax.) 
Elongate, rather broad, feebly shining ; rufo-piceous above, ferru- 
ginous beneath, the antennae and legs testaceous; the smaller 
punctures each bearing an excessively minute squamiform hair, 
these soon becoming abraded on the upper surface. Head sub- 
triangular, rather small, finely punctured, the eyes coarsely facetted, 
moderately large; antennal club large, abrupt. Thorax transverse, 
somewhat rounded at the sides, a little narrowed anteriorly, the 
angles obtuse; closely punctate, and with a deep, longitudinal, 
crescentiform sulcus on each side of the disc behind, extending 
forwards from the transverse basal groove to about the middle and 
there becoming slightly sinuous, the intervening space smoother than 
the rest of the surface. Elytra moderately long, subparallel in 
their basal half; coarsely punctate-striate, the interstices convex 
and closely punctulate. Beneath finely, the metasternum and 
first ventral segment more coarsely, punctate. Tibiae moderately 
widened outwards. 
Length 4mm. (? ¢.) 
Hab. Jamaica (Hubbard, in U.S. Nat. Mus.). 
One specimen. Differs from all the other forms known 
to me in having two deep longitudinal arcuate sulci on the
