or 
70 Mr. F. P. Pascoe on the genus Hilipus, 
antenne pitchy, the two basal joints of the funicle 
moderately elongate, the last four transverse; club 
elliptic; prothorax scarcely longer than broad, a little 
incurved at the sides behind the middle, opaque reddish, 
the anterior border black; scutellum glossy, elytra 
elongate, nearly parallel at the sides, scales scattered 
and exceedingly minute, posteriorly a dense line of 
normal silaceous scales forming a slightly-curved band 
on each elytron—the concavity backwards,  seriate- 
punctate, punctures very slight, each with a minute 
whitish scale, preapical callus not prominent; body 
beneath dark brown, metasternum luteous; legs slender. 
Allied to the preceding, but with narrower, nearly 
parallel elytra, more convex, and without the posterior 
band. 
Hilipus respiciens. 
H. gracilis, nitide piceo-fuscus, levigatus, femoribus 
ferrugineis, elytris singulatim prope apicem annulo 
albido ornatis. Long. 6 lin. 
Hab. Chinchamajo. 
Slender, dark pitchy brown, smooth and glossy; 
femora, except at the apex, ferruginous, each elytron at 
the base with a short transverse narrow band, and very 
near the apex a well-defined ring of silaceous scales ; 
rostrum rather slender, curved, sparingly punctured, the 
scales commencing not far from the apex; eyes 
approximate; antenne pitchy; two basal joints of the 
funicle subelongate, the second somewhat shorter; club 
as long as the five last joints together; prothorax equal 
in length and breadth, narrowed anteriorly, parallel at 
the sides from before the middle, sparingly punctured, 
slightly carinated anteriorly ; scutellum rounded; elytra 
subparallel at the sides, seriate-punctate, punctures 
minute, preapical callus not prominent; body beneath 
and legs glossy brown, with a very few scattered setule ; 
second abdominal segment longitudinally impressed ; 
claw-joint slender. 
An isolated species, but with the eyes approximate 
beneath as well as in front, as in H. pwcilus, with which 
it has no affinity otherwise.
