34 HETEROMERA. 
26. Epitragus parviceps. 
Oblong ovate, convex, bright brassy neous, densely clothed with fine cinereous pubescence. Head small, 
finely and closely punctured, the epistoma produced and rounded in front 5 prothorax a little broader 
than long, narrowing from the base, the sides slightly rounded, the anterior angles produced though 
scarcely acute, hind angles not prominent, subrectangular, the base feebly bisinuate, feebly and very 
closely punctured, with a fine smooth central line which is obsolete in front; elytra a little broader than 
the thorax, convex, a little rounded at the sides, finely, evenly, and very closely punctured, with indistinct 
. traces of shallow dorsal grooves. 
Length 10 millim. 
Hab. Mexico, Oaxaca (Sai/é). 
One example. Resembling a small male £. metallicus, but more finely and closely 
punctured, the head smaller, and the lateral lobes not prominent, the angles of the 
thorax less prominent, &c.; narrower than E. aurichalceus, the elytra proportionately 
much narrower. 
27. Epitragus canus. 
Oblong ovate, light «neous, densely clothed with fine cinereous pubescence. Head very closely and somewhat 
coarsely punctured, the epistoma produced and rounded in front, the vertex with some coarse long hairs ; 
prothorax a little broader than long, narrowing from the base, the sides nearly straight, the angles rather 
prominent and subacute, the base strongly bisinuate, and the margin interrupted on each side about the 
middle by an oblique impression, finely and rather closely punctured, with a smooth, distinct, central line ; 
elytra broader than the thorax, extremely finely and closely punctured; the outer apical angle of the 
anterior tibiee produced into a short blunt tooth. 
Length 124 millim. 
Hab. Mexico (Sallé, ex. coll. Sturm). 
One example. Labelled E. canus, Haag (plumbeus, Dej.), in the Sallé collection. 
28. Epitragus pilosus. 
Oblong ovate, very convex, reddish brown with a greenish tint, densely clothed with rather long, cinereous, 
appressed hairs. Head sparingly and coarsely punctured, the epistoma convex, rounded and produced in 
front; prothorax transverse, convex, widest about the middle, the sides nearly straight behind and rounded 
in front, the angles not prominent, though acute, rather coarsely and. closely punctured, with a smooth 
central line which is slightly impressed before the base, the base bisinuate, and with a slight oblique 
impression on each side just within the margin ; elytra broader than the thorax, convex, rounded at the sides, 
closely and rather coarsely punctured, the apices somewhat pointed, the pubescence arranged in indistinct 
rows. 
Length 12 millim. 
Hab. Mexico, Vera Cruz (Sail/é). 
One example. Labelled E. pilosus, Chev., in the Sallé collection. Not very closely 
allied to any of the other species here recorded, and known by its convex form, and 
densely pubescent surface; and the pubescence of the elytra arranged in rows. 
29. Epitragus cupreus. (Tab. I. fig. 24.)] 
Oblong ovate, convex, varying in colour from bright brassy eneous to dark bronze, when fresh covered with 
fine, scattered, cinereous pubescence. Head closely and finely punctured, the epistoma rather convex, and
