258 HYPOLAMPSIS. 



wanting). Legs flavous, the posterior femora being piceous, and the 

 globular inflation of the postical claw rufo-flavous. 



This species may be at once separated from H. porculus, to which 

 it is nearly allied, by the absence of striaB as well as of pubescence on 

 the elytra.

Oblong-ovate, very robust, subcylindrical, punctate-striate, clothed 

 throughout with fusco-flavous pubescence. Head short, transverse, 

 slightly produced in front, above the labrum transversely depressed ; 

 the upper surface between the eyes is apparently without fovea or 

 depression; the surface is granulated, and in colour flavo-ferragi- 

 neous. Thorax transverse, subcylindrical ; the sides much de- 

 pressed, and in front subattenuated ; the surface is equate and flavo- 

 pubescent, the colour fuscous. Scutellum minute. Elytra very much 

 broader than the thorax, globose, evenly punctate-striate ; the striaB 

 are distinct, but the punctures are entirely concealed by a thick 

 flavous pubescence; the surface is equate and fuscous. Antennae 

 subincrassated towards the apex, flavous. Legs flavous throughout. 



This species may be separated from its congeners by its broad and 

 subglobular elytra, by the absence of any antemedial depression, and 

 by its comparatively small and equate thorax.
