and tts Neo-Tropical Allies. 65 
base, slightly expanded and rounded at the sides, 
punctures almost obsolete; scutellum  subtriangular ; 
elytra three and a quarter times the length of the pro- 
thorax, moderately convex, the apex rounded, preapical 
callus slight, punctures in lines, the intervals smooth ; 
body beneath and distal half of the femora chocolate- 
brown, rest of the legs reddish ferruginous; claw-joint 
nearly as long as the rest of the tarsus. 
Allied to H. catagraphus, Germ., but, inter alia, less 
convex, elytra more delicately punctured, and the stripe 
on each side more indented. 
AMilipus nurus. 
H. oblongo-ovatus, fulvo-ferrugineus, supra granulis 
concoloribus instructus, prothorace vitta utrinque, ely- 
trisque basi plaga laterali, una antemediana, duabus 
alteris postice—ad suturam approximatis—niveo-squa- 
mosis. Long. 7 hn. 
Hab. Colombia. 
Oblong-ovate, yellowish ferruginous, above with gran- 
ules of the same colour, a stripe on each side of the 
prothorax, and irregular patches on the elytra composed 
of pure white scales; head with a deep fovea between 
the eyes, these approximate; rostrum piceous, as long 
as the prothorax, slightly curved, closely punctured at 
the base, the scrobe commencing at the distal third; 
antenne piceous; scape elongate; funicle with the first 
two joints much longer than the remainder, the last four 
turbinate, club not longer than the last five joints 
together; prothorax rather narrow, longer than broad, 
rounded anteriorly at the sides, the posterior half nearly 
parallel, granules crowded; scutellum elongate-scutiform ; 
elytra convex, subelongate, the sides nearly parallel, 
much broader than the prothorax at the base, preapical 
callus not prominent, the apex rounded, subseriate- 
granulate, the granules more or less masking the 
punctures; body beneath and legs ferruginous, with 
scattered greyish setulose scales; claw-joint nearly as 
long as the remainder of the tarsus. 
I have adopted M. Chevrolat’s MS. name for this 
handsome species; in coloration it is not unlike H. draco, 
Fab., but is much larger, and considerably narrower in 
proportion, and it has not the slender rostrum of that 
species.
