86 Mr. F. P. Pascoe on the genus Hilipus, 
coloured setulose scales; rostrum much longer than the 
prothorax, slightly curved, closely punctured at the base, 
the intervals granuliform; eyes not approximate ; 
antenn pitchy ; second joint of the funicle twice as long 
as the first, the rest pyriform and gradually shorter to 
the sixth ; club a. little longer than the last three joints 
together ; prothorax rather broader than long, the sides 
moderately rounded and a little contracted at the base, 
an oblong tubercle in the middle, with smaller ones 
towards the sides and behind; scutellum subscutiform ; 
elytra subcordate, very broad at the base, substriate- 
punctate, punctures mostly masked by the scales, pre- 
apical callus not prominent, the apices slightly divari- 
cate; body beneath and legs glossy brown, with 
numerous minute scales. 
A stout species like H. cratosomoides, ante p. 77, but 
tuberculate, not granulate, and, inter alia, an unusually 
long rostrum, and the second joint of the funicle twice 
as long as the first. 
Hilipus monitor. 
H. sat late ovatus, niger, squamulis silaceis approxi- 
matis vestitus, supra tuberculis majoribus et minoribus 
plurimis instructus; rostro elongato; elytris basi haud 
depressis, in medio singulorum obscure fusco-notatis. 
Long. 6 lin.

Rather broadly ovate, black, coverd with approximate 
silaceous scales, with numerous larger and smaller 
tubercles above, the elytra with an indefinite brown 
triangular patch ; rostrum elongate, slightly stouter 
towards the apex; antenne ferruginous, second joint of 
the funicle nearly twice as long as the first : prothorax 
well rounded at the sides, the disk with several glossy 
tubercles, and three narrow elevated ones just before the 
middle, the intervals between these concave; scutellum 
triangular; elytra rather short, broadest at the base, 
convex, several large and small tubercles on the back, 
the former mostly confined to the base and middle, be- 
hind the latter position the elytra is slightly depressed 
and marked with a semilunar blotch, preapical callus 
prominent, ending in a glossy point, the apex broadly 
rounded ; body beneath and legs as in the preceding spe- 
cies, but the last abdominal segment coarsely punctured.
