medium, pedibus antennisque (articulis duobus ultimis exceptis) 

 nigris. 



Hab. Singapore. 



Oblong, with a reddish grey or a pale dull orange pile; spot 

 between the eyes, three stripes on the prothorax, a large trans- 

 verse patch common to both elytra posteriorly, and a few small 

 spots, principally on the shoulders and base, black: antenna? above 

 five times as long as the body, black, except the last two joints, 

 which are white. Length 3 lines, of the antenna; 15. 



Habkissus. 



Head oblong, with a short broad rostrum, prolonged at the 

 apex. Antenna? short, slender, arising from a groove midway 

 between the eye and mandible, the first two joints short and 

 slender, the last three forming a very moderately thickened club. 

 Eyes round, entire, scarcely approximate. Lip rounded anteriorly. 

 Mandibles stout, triangular. Palpi slender, pointed. Prothorax 

 narrow in front, gradually enlarging to the carina, which is sub- 

 basal and divided at the side into two short divergent branches. 

 Scutellum very small. Elytra oblong, convex, slightly rounded 

 at the sides. Legs moderate, first tarsal joint as long as the rest 

 together. Mesostcrnum short, broad, slightly bilobed behind. 



A genus which has a strong resemblance, particularly as to 

 the antenna?, to the South American Corrliecerus, from which, 

 however, it differs in its entire eyes, prolonged apex of the 

 rostrum, which is terminated by the small lip (almost descending 

 to the external margin of the mandibles when closed), and dicho- 

 tomous termination of the carina. 



Habrissus pilicomis. 



H. ovato-oblongus, cinercus, fusco varius, tarsis fulvescentibus, 



unguibus nigris. 

 Hab. Am. 



Ovate-oblong, covered with a short, dense, ashy pile, varied 

 with dark brown patches, head and prothorax tinged with yellow, 

 the brown on the latter forming a series of indistinctly curved 

 and slightly connected spots; elytra punctato-striate, a brownish 

 patch on the anterior two-thirds, in which are several ashy spots, 

 then a band of the same colour, followed by another brownish 

 patch, the apex also ashy ; pygidium ashy, with a black spot on 

 each side; legs ashy, tibiae at the base and apex, and claws 

 black : antenna? with a few long scattered hairs, black, the first 

 two joints reddish yellow. Length 5 lines. British Museum.
