Hab. Mexico ! (coll. Oberthiir). 
I am indebted to M. Oberthiir for an opportunity of examining this insect, of which 
we have not received an example; it connects LH. rhizophagoides with the following 
series of species. 
4, Kurops bilineatus, sp. n. 
Niger, nitidus, deplanatus, glaber ; pedibus elytrisque testaceis, his apice nigro; antennis pygidioque fusco- 
rufis; prothorace lineis duabus discoidalibus impressis, utrinque parce subtiliter punctato; elytris seriatim 
punctatis. 
Long. vix 24 millim. 
Hab. Nicaracua, Chontales (Janson). 
Antenne rather short and stout, ninth joint strongly transverse, tenth shorter than 
usual. Head large, reddish in front, deeply impressed on each side anteriorly, with a 
few fine punctures near the eye. Thorax elongate, nearly straight at the sides, lateral 
margin rather fine, scarcely evidently crenate; disc with two elongate, parallel, 
impressed lines, which are not connected behind, but have two punctures placed 
between them there; at the sides with a few fine punctures. Elytra with the series 
of punctures fine and regular, not evanescent at the tip. Pygidium elongate, little 
deflexed. One specimen, male. 
This distinct little species is, perhaps, our nearest ally, structurally, to the Madeiran 
E. impressicollis, Woll., the type of the genus. 
5. Europs cognatus, sp. n. 
Rufescens, nitidus, deplanatus, glaber ; prothorace fusco-rufo, lineis duabus discoidalibus impressis, utrinque 
parce fortiter punctato; elytris seriatim punctatis. 
Long. 24 millim. 
Hab. Guatemata, Cerro Zunil (Champion). 
Of this species we have also received but one specimen; it is a female. Although 
very closely allied to E. bilineatus, it is readily distinguished by the colour, and by the 
punctures on the head and thorax being much larger. The antenne also have the two 
joints of the club rather larger. 
6. Europs illaesus, sp. n. 
Elongatus, deplanatus, niger, nitidus; antennis pedibusque rufis; elytris flavis, sutura et marginibus nigris, 
seriatim punctatis ; prothorace irregulariter fortiter punctato, ante basin in medio profunde transversim 
impresso ; pygidio elongato, porrecto. 
Long. 22 millim. 
Hab, NicaRaGva, Chontales (Janson). 
Head short, the vertex with numerous large punctures. Thorax almost square,
