Hah. Huilla (IVehoitsch). 



The unique specimen of tliis species is rather larger than 

 the type of JV. nigropiceus, Qaed., in M. Oberthiir^s collection, 

 ^vith which I have kindly been enabled to compare it. Its 

 thorax is relatively rather shorter and much less constricted 

 in I'ront. Tiie front angles in that form are very prominent, 

 but in N. laticolli's they are truncated and so each replaced by 

 two obtuse angles. The front margin is thickened at each 

 end for a short distance, and at eacli end of the posterior 

 margin a right angle is formed by a curved longitudinal 

 carina about half the length of the thorax. The broad lateral 

 flange vanishes at about the middle of tiiis carina. In 

 iV. nigropiceus the posterior carina is continued until it meets 

 the anterior carina, and the outer flange is narrower and more 

 sinuated. The two median thoracic interspaces are coarsely 

 punctured, but scarcely so coarsely as in the allied species, 

 and the outer spaces, which in that are almost smooth, are 

 rather sparsely pitted. There are three strong carinas on 

 each elytron, each bordered by finely punctured stria?. The 

 six-jointed abdomen is very coarsely pitted, but less coarsely 

 than in If. nigropiceus. 



Hybosoridae. 

 PhceocJirous dispar^ Qued. 



Both sexes of this remarkable species, of which the elytra 

 of the female are shining and those of the male sooty, were 

 brought from Garenganze. 



The imperfect female specimen of unknown origin called 

 SUphodes duhia by Westwood nearly resembles the female of 

 P. dispar, but is rather smaller, the sides of the prothorax 

 are rather more curved and the jnincturcs upon its disk rather 

 less line.
