mixed with small sete ; rostrum stout, with four raised line , 

 the outer flexuous, the front coarsely punctured ; antenna with 

 the first joint of the funicle twice as long as the second ; pro- 

 thorax not longer than broad, rounded at the sides, but 

 expanding at the base, the disk roughly granulate ; scutellum 

 cordiform ; elytra very broad at the base, gradually narrower 

 to the broadly rounded apex, seriate-punctate, punctures 

 middle-sized, quadrate ; body beneath with scattered punc- 

 tures, each bearing a brownish-yellow seta, and more nume- 

 rous at the sides of the abdominal segments ; legs sparsely 

 setulose ; femora strongly toothed ; fore tibite slightly curved. 

 The groove in front of the eye — one of the characters of 

 Hylohius according to Lacordaire — is sbort and not well 

 limited, and the posterior callus on each elytron is nearly 

 obsolete. This species may be placed after H. crasslrostris. 



Hylohius desuetus. 



H. robustus, fuscus, subnitidus, setulis fulvidis adspersus ; rostro 

 tenuato ; prothorace graiiuHs coujunctis setigeris munito ; elj'tris 

 striato-puuctatis, interstitiis parte basaU granulatis. Long. 6-7 

 lin. 



Hah. Siam, Sarawak. 



Robust, rather glossy brown, with numerous small fulvous 

 setffi ; rostrum comparatively slender, with three principal 

 grooves marked with coarse oblong punctures ; antennee 

 pitchy ; prothorax with the sides nearly parallel posteriorly, 

 the disk with connected granules in oblique lines, each tipped 

 with a curved seta ; scutellum triangular ; elytra considerably 

 broader at the base than the prothorax, striate-punctate, the 

 punctures oblong, large, approximate, interstices not well 

 marked, those on the basal half dotted with small glossy 

 granules, each tipped with a procumbent seta; femora ob- 

 tusely toothed. 



The more slender rostrum and the less convex elytra, with 

 their interstices granulate, are the leading diiFerential cha- 

 racters of this species. In this and the preceding species 

 there is a tendency of the setulse to a closer approximation on 

 the elytra behind the middle, forming a somewhat indistinct 

 band. 



Hylohius pumilus. 



H. oblongus, fusco-ferrugineus, nitidus ; antennis, femoribus basi, 

 tibiis dimidio apicali tarsisque rufulis ; rostro incrassato, grosse 

 punctato ; femoribus dente acuto armatis. Long. 3 lin. 



Hah. Sarawak.
