572 MONOTOMID. 
14. Hurops convergens, sp. n. 
Nigricans, nitidus, antennis pedibusque rufis; thorace suboblongo, haud impresso, parce punctato ; elytris 
striatis, striis subtiliter punctatis. 
Long. 33 millim. 
Hab. Mexico, Jacale (Sallé). 
Head a little broader than the thorax, sparingly and finely punctured. ‘Thorax 
oblong, all the angles very obtuse, the lateral margins crenulate, the surface coarsely 
punctate, with a smooth space along the middle: there is no basal impression. Elytra 
distinctly and regularly striate, the striz very distinctly punctured. Pygidium but little 
elongate, coarsely punctured. The head is larger in the male, and the thorax is 
distinctly narrowed behind. One pair. A third specimen from the same locality is 
perhaps a very largely developed male of this species; it is broader, and has the thorax 
more finely punctured, without a smooth space along the middle. 
15. Europs luridipennis. 
Phyconomus luridipennis, Reitter, Deutsche ent. Zeitschr. xx. p. 299 (1876) ’. 
Haud deplanatus, parum nitidus, pubescens, niger, elytris rufis; prothorace subtransverso, fortiter punctato, 
medio area angusta levigata; elytris seriatim punctatis. 
Long. 3 millim. 
Hab. Mexico! (coll. Oberthiir), Orizaba (Sallé), Mexico city (Hége). 
Distinguished from the other species of Europs by the pubescent upper surface and 
the less regular sculpture of the elytra; the coxal lines are not at all detached. The 
head of the male is remarkably broad, and is short in proportion; the thorax, too, is 
shorter than usual. Antenne short, ninth joint large. ‘Thorax broader than long, all 
the angles obtuse, the surface rather coarsely and closely punctured, pubescent; a 
narrow smooth space along the middle. LElytra red, the suture only infuscate; with 
seriate setigerous punctures which form imperfect strie. Pygidium moderately long. 
Four specimens. They agree with the types of P. luridipennis, Reitter, lent to me by 
M. René Oberthiir. 
16. Europs discedens, sp. n. 
Minus depressus, angustus, subtilissime pubescens, sat nitidus, ferrugineus; prothorace fortiter sequaliter 
punctato; elytris profunde striato-punctatis. 
Long. 2 millim. 
Hab. GuatEMAtLa, Capetillo (Champion). 
This little insect is destitute of the facies of the normal Hwrops, and has no smooth 
space on the thorax. The two individuals obtained are, I think, females. The 
antenne are rather slender, and the ninth joint is not very broad, though different 
from those preceding it, and quite detached. ‘The head is but small, and the space over
