EPURAA. 307 
Hab. Norra America, Colorado !, Arizona !.—Mexico, Northern Sonora (Morrison) ; 
GuATEMALA, Quiche Mountains 7000 to 9000 feet (Champion). 
The identification of the Guatemalan examples with those from Northern Mexico is 
not quite certain, as I have seen only two immature females from the latter locality. 
Our figure represents a male from the Quiche Mountains. 
E. integra is the only one of our species in which the apices of the elytra are 
distinctly prolonged. 
2. Epurea mexicana, sp. n. 
Oblongo-ovalis, brevis, testacea, subopaca, prothorace lateribus rotundatis, basin versus fortiter angustatis, haud 
sinuatis ; elytrorum apicibus leviter prolongatis. 
Long. 33 millim. 
Hab. Mexico, Northern Sonora (Morrison), Guanajuato (Sallé), Mexico city (Forrer). 
Very closely allied to E. integra, but with the sides of the thorax much more narrowed 
at the base (though not sinuate as in E. misera &c.), and with the middle tibiz of the 
male almost simple. The thorax is not deeply emarginate in front, and the anterior 
angles are but little prominent; the sides are very distinctly explanate, and the base is 
a little sinuate on each side, so that the angles are very sharply defined though obtuse. 
The elytra are not very elongate, their extremities not rounded, but oblique externally 
on each side, and with a distinct hiatus at the apex of the suture. The dilatation at 
the apex of the middle tibia of the male is very slight. 
Five specimens. 
3. Epurea torticollis, sp.n. (Tab. IX. fig. 25, 9.) 
Oblongo-ovalis, depressa, testacea, crebrius subtiliusque punctata, latiuscula; prothorace ad basin fortiter 
angustato, quasi constricto. 
Long. 3 millim. 
Hab. Mexico, San Andres (Sal/é). 
Antenne with joints 3, 4, 5 rather long; club a little darker in colour, elongate. 
Thorax strongly transverse, deeply emarginate in front, much explanate at the sides: 
these much rounded, constricted at the base, and the lateral margin there a little turned 
upwards, so that the hind angles, looked at from above and behind, seem to be a little 
turned outwards. Elytra not elongate, truncate at the apices. Male with a very slight 
incrassation of the inner margin of the apex of the middle tibia. 
Allied to E. corticina, Er., but with a greater constriction of the base of the thorax, 
and with the middle tibis of the male almost simple. Our figure is taken from a 
female.
