88 HETEROMERA. 
** Sours of anterior tibie in the female subequal. 
35. Eleodes hepburni. 
Elongate, convex, subfusiform, black, shining. Head almost smooth, with a few scattered exceedingly fine 
punctures ; prothorax strongly convex, about as long as broad, widest in the middle, the base and apex 
about equal in width, the lateral margins scarcely visible from above, the sides rounded, somewhat abruptly 
constricted just before the base, and feebly sinuate near the obtuse anterior angles, anterior margin 
nearly straight, hind angles obtuse, with traces of an obsolete central channel, almost smooth, with 
exceedingly fine scattered punctures ; elytra long, convex, the sides rounded gradually to the base, widest 
about the middle, the apex attenuate and broadly rounded, the humeri distinct and subacute, finely, 
indistinctly, and irregularly punctate-striate, with traces of shallow fine narrow grooves, the interstices 
flat and with some very fine widely scattered punctures; anterior femora unarmed; spurs of anterior 
tibiee subequal; anterior tarsi from base to apex thickly clothed with hair beneath; all the tibize curved ; 
prosternum horizontal,”produced behind into a short blunt tooth. 
Length 21 millim. (¢.) 
Hab. Mexico, Pinos Altos in Chihuahua (Buchan-Hepburn). 
One example. Of the form of £. longicollis, but smaller, the anterior tarsi clothed 
throughout with hair beneath, the sides of the thorax more strongly embracing the 
flanks (the marginal carina scarcely visible from above), &c. The disc of the thorax in 
the single example before me is strongly impressed on each side a little behind the 
middle, and deeply impressed transversely just before the base; but this is probably 
due to accidental circumstances. 
36. Eleodes forreri. (Tab. IV. fig. 18, 2.) | 
Elongate, dull black, subopaque. Head with some scattered fine punctures (sometimes nearly obsolete), the 
vertex smoother ; prothorax subquadrate, about as long as broad (very long in the male), longitudinally 
convex, narrowly margined, the angles obtuse and almost rounded (not acute or prominent), sides rounded 
and narrowing a little towards the base, with scattered very fine almost obsolete punctures; elytra in the 
male elongate and attenuate, and the apex broadly rounded, in the female shorter, widening from the 
base to beyond the middle, the sides rounded and the apex produced and rather broad, with rows of fine 
muricate punctures, the interstices flat and exceedingly finely wrinkled or smooth; the anterior femora 
unarmed in both sexes, slightly swollen in the middle, and emarginate near the apex in the male; the 
anterior tibie feebly emarginate on the inner side at the base, the spurs subequal; the basal joints of the 
anterior tarsi in the male thickly clothed with almost spongy hair beneath. 
Length, ¢ 22 millim., 9 18-20 millim. 
Hab. Mexico, Ciudad in Durango, 8100 feet (Forrer). 
Six examples. Allied to £. angusta and E. ruida in form; the anterior tarsi thickly 
clothed with hair beneath, the upper surface dull and subopaque.
