244 HYPOLAMPSIS. 



basin depresso ; elytris robustis, punctato-striatis ; antennis sat 

 robustis, ad apicem obsolete dilatatis ; pedibus ferrugineis. 

 Long. corp. lj lin., lat. f lin. 



Oblong-ovate, robust, parallel, very finely pubescent, punctate- 

 striate, of a pale ferrugineous colour. Head short, vertical, hardly 

 produced in front; immediately above the labrum is a transverse 

 triangular depression ; between the eyes (which are lateral, and situ- 

 ated at the base of the head) the surface is equate, unmarked by any 

 carination or depression, and finely punctate. Thorax transverse, in 

 front slightly emarginate ; the sides parallel and finely margin ate ; 

 at the base (when viewed laterally) is a transverse depression ex- 

 tending obliquely upwards towards the humeral angles ; an obsolete 

 transverse depression may also be traced immediately behind the 

 anterior margin ; the surface is finely punctate. Scutellum minute, 

 triangular, pubescent, situated in the same plane as the elytra. 

 Elytra robust, broader than the thorax, punctate-striate ; an obso- 

 lete antemedial depression, extending obliquely upwards towards the 

 shoulders, gives a slightly gibbous appearance to the scutellary angles. 

 Antennce robust, slightly thickened towards the apex. Legs, like the 

 rest of the body, of a pale ferrugineous colour throughout. 



H. campestris is well marked by the absence of any depression or 

 carination between the eyes ; its pale and concolorous surface, with 

 its sufficiently robust elytra, also distinguish it from its congeners.

H. oblongo-ovata, subparallela, attenuata, pallide ferruginea ; ca- 

 pite inter oculos obsolete foveolato, punctulato ; thorace quadrato, 

 ad basin constricto, ad latera piceo suffuso ; elytris attenuatis, 

 punctato-striatis, fusco suffusis ; antennis filiformibus, ad apicem

Long. corp. 1^- lin., lat. -| lin. 



Oblong-ovate, Bubparallel, attenuated, finely punctate, subpubes- 

 cent, of a pale ferrugineous colour. Head short, transverse, vertical, 

 hardly produced in front ; immediately above the base of the an- 

 tennae is a minute longitudinal fovea ; the eyes are tolerably pro- 

 minent, and situated laterally and near the base of the head; the 

 surface between the eyes is finely punctate. Thorax quadrate, di- 

 stinctly constricted, as well as transversely depressed at the base ; 

 the sides are finely marginate ; the surface is obsoletely punctate, of 

 a pale ferrugineous colour, suffused anteriorly, and more distinctly at
