488 SUPPLEMENT, 
36. Epitragus ruatanensis. 
Subfusiform, convex, rather broad, castaneous with a slight brassy lustre, shining, very sparsely clothed with 
short appressed hairs. Head closely, finely punctate anteriorly and on the vertex, more coarsely and 
sparsely so between the eyes, the lateral lobes divergent and produced in front nearly as far as the 
epistoma, the supraorbital carina distinct ; prothorax strongly transverse, the sides rounded and con- 
vergent anteriorly, sinuate behind, the hind angles very acute and directed outwards, the anterior angles 
rather obtuse, the base with a well-marked rather deep oblique fovea on either side, the surface finely and 
rather thickly punctured laterally and in front, sparsely so on the disc, the latter with a smooth central 
line; elytra moderately iong, a little rounded at the sides, narrowing from the middle, with the apices 
somewhat produced and acute, with rows of fine, shallow, approximate punctures, the interstices flat, 
each with two irregular rows of very fine punctures, which towards the sides are scarcely distinguishable 
from those of the strize; beneath thickly punctured, the metasternum coarser punctate laterally, smoother 
in the middle; the mesosternum V-shaped, and deeply excavate for the reception of the prosternum. 
Length 114 millim. 
Hab. Honpuras, Ruatan Island (Gaumer). 
One specimen. Larger and broader than £. godmani and ££. communis; the thorax 
more rounded at the sides anteriorly, with well-marked basal fovee, the hind angles 
more acute and directed outwards, the anterior angles obtuse, and the punctuation 
much finer. 
ZOPHERUS (p. 38). 
M. Sallé’s synonymical note (Col. Hefte, vi. p. 113) on the species of this genus was 
overlooked by me. 
Zopherus chilensis (p. 38). 
Zopherus insignis, Blanch. in d’Orbigny’s Dict. d’Hist. Nat. xiii. p. 377, Atlas, Ins. Col. t. 7 a.

Zopherus moreletii, Lucas, Ann. Soc. Ent. Fr. 1852, Bull. p. xxiii. 
To the Mexican localities given, add :—Tehuantepec ( Hége). 
2. Zopherus jourdani. 
Zopherus mexicanus (Sol.), huj. op. p. 89 (nec Gray). 
Zopherus jourdani, Sallé, Ann. Soc. Ent. Fr. 1849, p. 301, t. 8. fig. 4; Col. Hefte, vi. p- 1138. 
I have recently examined the type of Z. mexicanus, Gray, now in the Hope collection 
at Oxford, and find that it is specifically distinct from Z. mexicanus, Sol.; the name 
jourdani, Sallé, must therefore be retained for this species. 
Zopherus levicollis (p. 40). 
To the Mexican localities given, add :—Zacualtipan, Las Vigas, Jalapa (Hoge). 
5 (a). Zopherus venosus. 
Zopherus levicollis, var. venosus, huj. op. p. 40. 
Numerous additional specimens have been received of this insect—from San Andres
