5. Stenagria humeralis. 
Nigra, nitidula, elytrorum abdominisque basi pedibusque testaceis, his femoribus nigris ; antennis gracilibus, 
articulis nullis transversis, basi fusco-testacea, articulo ultimo rufo-testaceo; prothorace elongato-cordato, 
medio canaliculato, parum punctato; elytris subtilius punctatis ; abdomine sat crebre punctato. 
Long. 3 millim. 
Hab. Guatemata, Balheu (Champion). 
This species is closely allied to S. pare ; but the individuals are larger and of darker 
colour, and have the antennz considerably more elongate, these being about as long as 
head, thorax and elytra; and their penultimate joint is a good deal broader than long. 
The scutellum is. extremely indistinctly bicarinate. 
Three individuals, quite similar to one another, were found of this species. 
Falagria divisa and F. concinna, Er., two Brazilian species, appear from Erichson’s 
descriptions to be allied to 8. humeralis and S. pare, and should no doubt be referred 
to Stenagria. | 
Group BOLITOCHARINA. 
The anterior and middle tarsi four-, the posterior five-jointed. 
EPIPEDA. 
Epipeda, Rey, Muls. et Rey, Hist. Nat. Col. Fr., Aléochariens, Bolitocharaires, p. 186 (1871). 
This genus was established for a single European species of subcortical habits. 
Fauvel has recently expressed doubts as to the validity of the genus, suggesting that 
the intermediate feet are really five-jointed, and-that Lpipeda should be merged in 
Thectura. I have, however, by mounting the trophi and feet of H. plana in Canada 
balsam, satisfied myself that Rey is quite correct in his statement as to the tarsal 
structure and the biarticulate labial palpi, and there is no doubt that the insect is 
correctly placed in the neighbourhood of Sidusa. The numerous species here described 
show some variations in their structural characters, especially as regards the space 
separating the intermediate acetabula; but I have not been able to find any good 
characters for valid genera among them at present.
