and its Neo-Tropical Allies. 79 
the rest very short, club as long as the last five together ; 
eyes lateral ; prothorax rather broader than long, well 
rounded at the sides, contracted at the base, granules 
scarcely glossy, scattered ; scutellum scutiform ; elytra 
slightly convex, somewhat depressed in the middle, 
rather abruptly declivous towards the apex, the sides 
subparallel, substriate-punctate, the interstices mostly 
with tubercles, sometimes trenching on the strie, and 
intermingled with them a few glossy granules; preapical 
callus prominent, behind the callus at the side a dull 
brown patch without tubercles or granules ; beneath 
numerous long silaceous scales, on the legs slender 
dispersed hairs ; claw-joint short. 
A longer and more parallel form than H. echinatus, 
Boh., and remarkable for its short funicle. 
FHilipus aspredo. 
H. sat late ovatus, niger, squamulis silaceis plagiatim 
varius, supra tuberculatus ; rostro modice tenuato ; clava 
antennarum haud elongata, articulata ; prothorace minus 
tuberculato, apice paulo producto. Long. 63 lin.

This species is nearly allied to the last, but is shorter 
and stouter, and marked with large patches of silaceous 
scales ; the rostrum is shorter, the basal half not very 
closely punctured ; the antenne with a longer funicle, 
and a distinctly-jomted shorter club; the eyes are 
smaller; the prothorax less transverse, with fewer 
tubercles, some, indeed, little more than granules; the 
elytra shorter and more convex, and more abruptly 
declivous towards the apex; there is a slight variation of 
the tubercles, but probably they vary individually. 
One of my specimens is labelled H. signatipennis, 
Dej. There is nothing apparently to suggest such a 
name. 
Hilipus intensus. 
H. subellipticus, nigrescens, silaceo-squamosus, supra 
eranulatus; elytris plerumque pone medium plaga velu- 
tina fusca, albido-marginata, ornatis ; inter oculos sul- 
cato; rostro carinato. Long. 6 lin.

Subelliptic, blackish, with approximate silaceous scales, 
above granulate; elytra with a large irregular brown
