80 Mr. F. P. Pascoe on the genus Hilipus, 
velvety spot at the side (most of which is behind the 
middle) bordered with whitish; rostrum cylindrical, 
longer than the prothorax, slightly curved, the base with 
five carine, separated by a reticulate puncturation ; 
between the eyes a triangular groove, the eyes approxi- 
mating in front but not beneath ; ; antennie pitchy, funicle 
elongate, the last joint only transverse; club shortly 
ovate ; prothorax subtransverse, moderately narrowed at 
the apex, granules irregular, a few nearly contiguous ; 
scutellum scutiform ; elytra slightly convex, the sides to 
behind the middle nearly parallel, oranules irregular in 
size and position, each with a pale seta directed back- 
ward, the intervals with here and there a puncture, 
velvet patches approximating at the suture ; body beneath 
and legs dark brown, with scattered silaceous scales ; 
claw-joint ferruginous. 
In appearance this species closely resembles H. ocel- 
latus (F'ab.), but it is at once distinguished by its carinate 
rostrum ; the same character will also distinguish it, 
inter alia, from H,. Faldermanni, Boh. 
Filipus grammicus. 
H. oblongo-ovatus, subsilaceo-squamosus, prothorace 
utrinque elytrisque in medio plaga fusca, oblique irregu- 
lari, notatis ; prothorace angusto, basi constricto ; elytris 
convexis, granulatis, basi bituberosis. Long. 5 lin. 
Hab. EKga; Ucayali. 
Oblong-ovate, with pale silaceous and brownish scales, 
and glossy scattered granules, stripe on each side of the 
prothorax and on the elytra a large obliquely irregular 
patch on each side rather behind the middle, but not 
extending to the margin, ofa rich brown colour; rostrum 
rather shorter than the prothorax, nearly straight, two 
nearly obsolete carine at the base; antenne pitchy, club 
nearly as long as the funicle ; eyes not approximate in 
front ; prothorax comparatively narrow, contracted at 
the base, sides slightly rounded; scutellum scutiform ; 
elytra convex, slightly narrowing behind, at the base 
of each a well-marked tuber crowned with three or four 
eranules ; body beneath and legs with scattered silaceous 
scales ; tarsi rather short. 
Allied to H. jocosus, Boh., but with a longer pro- 
thorax, a shorter funicle, more scattered tubercles, and 
a somewhat different coloration, the patch on the elytra
