72 Mr. F. P. Pascoe on the genus Hilipus, 
base, a narrow glossy carina anteriorly, coarsely punctured 
between the stripes, each puncture posteriorly with a 
raised border; scutellum rounded; elytra flattened above 
between the stripes, and coarsely seriate-punctate, pre- 
apical callus prominent ; a few small scattered scales on 
the legs and body beneath ; tarsi ferruginous. 
A small species, bordering in some respects on H. draco, 
Fab., but much narrower and otherwise differentiated 
by rostrum, antenne, &c. Its metathorax is very much 
longer than usual, and this throws the hind legs very 
much behind. 
Hilipus insidiosus. 
H. oblongus, fusco-piceus, squamis minutissimis albidis 
parce adspersus; prothorace granulis majusculis obsito, 
elytris rugoso-punctatis. 
Hab. Morro Velho. 
Oblong, pitchy brown, with a few narrow, very minute 
white scales; rostrum slender, much longer than the 
prothorax, chestnut-brown, glossy, moderately curved, 
and remotely and finely punctured throughout; antenne 
ferruginous, funicle with the two basal joints of moderate 
length, the rest shortly obconic; club scarcely longer 
than the last three together; eyes subapproximate ; 
prothorax transverse, well-rounded at the sides, con- 
tracted at the base, with many approximate, often 
reniform, tubercles, the middle with a stout carina, a 
small triangular space at the apex punctured; scutel- 
lum triangular; elytra broader thant he prothorax at 
the base, depressed along the suture, the anterior half 
nearly parallel at the sides, coarsely striate-punctate, 
the intervals with irregular more or less transverse folds, 
behind the middle a small spot of white scales, preapical 
callus prominent; body beneath glossy black, finely 
punctured ; tarsi ferruginous. 
Allied to H. dorsosulcatus, but with longer and more 
rugose elytra, and a carinated prothorax. 
Hilipus decorus. 
H. oblongus, subplanus, dense griseo-squamosus, 
setulisque adspersus, maculis duabus communibus basi, 
lateribus, fasciaque inter callos preapicales, fuscis ; 
prothorace carinato. Long. 5—6 lin. 
Hab. Amazon (iiga?), Sarayacu.
