and its Neo-Tropical Allies. 69 
Allied to H. collectus, but less elongate, the prothorax 
more conical and differently sculptured, &c. Dr. Kirsch 
has two species from the above locality which I am 
unable to identify with any in my collection. 
Hilipus nudipennis. 
H. anguste ellipticus, glaber, nigrescens, vix nitidus, 
prothorace pone apicem obscure rubro, subtiliter punctu- 
lato; femoribus in medio nitide luteis. Long. 6 ln. 
Hab. Macas. 
Narrowly elliptic, smooth, blackish; the prothorax, 
except at the apex, dull darkish red; the elytra scarcely, 
or very slightly, glossy; head and rostrum glossy 
chestnut-brown, the latter as long as the prothorax, curved, 
not carinated, the base moderately punctured; antennze 
pitchy, two basal joints of the funicle elongate, the last 
two slightly transverse; club shortly elliptic; eyes not 
approximate in front; prothorax longer than broad, a 
little incurved at the sides behind the middle, not glossy, 
a shade of black at the apex, minutely and sparingly 
punctured; scutellum oval, very glossy black; elytra 
narrow, broadest behind the shoulders, scaleless, except 
a minute scale in each puncture, finely seriate-punctate, 
the intervals very smooth, preapical callus very slight, the 
apex narrowly rounded; legs moderately elongate, very 
glossy black, middle of the femora luteous ; metasternum 
dull red, rest of the body beneath glossy blackish. 
Except that this species has the same particoloured 
femora as in H. mysticus and H. catenatus, | know of no 
ally but the following. 
Hilipus posticus. 
H. angustus, niger, fere opacus; prothorace antice 
carinato, pone apicem rufescenti; capite, rostro, pedi- 
busque (femoribus in medio luteis) nitide nigris; elytris 
postice fascia subarcuata silaceo-squamosa ornatis. 
Long. 6 lin. 
Hab. Sarayacu. 
Narrow, black, nearly opaque; prothorax, except at 
the apex, reddish ; elytra with a silaceous curved band 
posteriorly; the legs, except the luteous middle of the 
femora, glossy black; head and rostrum glossy black, 
the latter longer than the prothorax, curved, with three 
carine at the base, the intervals lightly punctured ;
