I have not seen Mexican specimens of EF. guadricollis. In this species the upper 
spur of the anterior tibize of the female is in some specimens very long and very much 
stouter and longer than the lower spur.

Eleodes punctipennis, Chevy. in litt. 
Hab. Norra America, Northern California and Oregon 1.—? Mexico (coll. F’. Bates, ex. 
Boucard). 
There is an example of this species in Mr. F. Bates’s collection labelled as from

Rather common in Mexico. £. maillei, Sol., is probably not really distinct from 
E. alutacea; it differs in having the elytra more coarsely, confusedly, and almost
