Lytta haroldi, Haag, Berl. ent. Zeitschr. 1880, p. 44’. 
Hab. Costa Rica (Wagner, in mus. Berol.+). 
“Nigra, opaca, pubescens, thorace, scutello, vitta latissima transversa elytrorum macula apicali subtusque 
indumento ochraceo-griseo densissime tecta, segmentis medio denudatis.—Long. 17, lat. 6 millim.” 
Unknown to me. According to Haag, this species is allied to E. terminata, E. luridi- 
pennis (rufipennis), and E. carmelita.

Only recorded as yet from the Mexican States of Vera Cruz and Puebla. It has been 
captured in abundance at Cordova and Orizaba. The pubescence is dense, cinereous or 
yellowish; the elytra with a large transverse ante-apical patch, interrupted at the 
suture, and usually the base on either side of the scutellum, narrowly, black. The 
male has a single spur to the anterior tibie, and the basal joint of the anterior tarsi 
slightly dilated. The eyes are deeply emarginate.

(Dugeés *). 
Not uncommon in the highlands of Mexico. The species is black, densely clothed 
with rather coarse cinereous pubescence, the elytra each with a small black spot on 
the middle of the disc towards the apex. The antenne are moderately long, sub- 
filiform, very little thinner towards the tip, and rather stout in both sexes, the third 
joint twice as long as the second. The male has the anterior tibie strongly sinuous 
within and furnished with a single spur. The spurs of the posterior tibie are acute, 
subequal. The eyes are deeply emarginate. The punctuation of the thorax is variable. 
12. Epicauta atripilis. 
Elongate, deep black, opaque, the pubescence above and beneath black and rather dense. Head densely and 
rather coarsely punctate, more finely so on the vertex, without median channel, a narrow longitudinal 
space in the middle between the eyes impunctate, rufous, the eyes large and deeply emarginate, the 
labrum shallowly emarginate; last joint of the maxillary palpi (¢ ) oblong-ovate, obliquely truncate at
