. EUPAGODERES, 95 
Hab. Mexico!, Alvarez Mountains (Dr. Palmer), Puebla, Guanajuato (Sal/é), 
Oaxaca, Matamoros Izucar (Hége). 
Closely allied to E. sallwi, but with the scales of the surface less densely packed, 
the colour more obscure, the patches of adhesive pubescence on the tarsal lobes smaller, 
and the mentum rather different in form, it being less transverse, and not so angular 
at the sides; the latter is but feebly impressed, little sculptured, and very shining. 
The typical example sent me from Schénherr’s collection by Dr. Aurivillius is con- 
siderably smaller than any specimen of the series we have received, and differs slightly 
in several other respects from our examples, but I do not see any way of distinguishing 
it specifically. This individual came from Sturm’s collection, and two other examples 
in our possession from the same collection appear to connect it satisfactorily with the 
rest of our series. 
7. Eupagoderes sallei. (Tab. IV. fig. 11.) 
Ophryastes salle, Gyll. in Schénh. Gen. Cure. v. p. 820°. 
Hab. Mexico (Sallé), Vera Cruz}. 
I have seen only two examples of this species: one was obtained from Sallé’s collec- 
tion, and therein was labelled “ O. sallet, type’’; the other is also a “type” from 
Schonherr’s collection communicated by Dr. Aurivillius. 0. sall@i is one of the most 
densely squamose species of the genus, and I think the maculation of the surface in 
these individuals is in part, if not entirely, due to their being stained irregularly with 
a very tenacious, muddy fluid. The legs are remarkably short. The rostrum is short, 
without median groove, but with a vague basal, transverse impression. The mentum 
is short and broad, greatly narrowed towards the base, depressed and shining in the 
middle. 
8. Hupagoderes squalidus, sp. n. 
Fusco-griseus ; prothorace nitido, subtransverso, parce obsoleteque punctato, medio tenuiter canaliculato ; 
elytris subtiliter striatis, striis remote minus fortiter punctatis. 
Long. 10 millim. 
Hab. Mexico (Sallé), Esperanza (Hoge). 
Rostrum with a deep median channel, extending quite to its base, and with broad, 
well-marked, lateral grooves. Thorax with only a few obscure and distant punctures, 
and with an obsolete median channel. Elytra with fine striz separated by broad flat 
intervals, and-bearing remote, moderately large, not deep punctures. 
In this species the scales are very closely fastened to the surface, and, though dense, 
the outline of each is quite distinct; on the disc of the thorax they have a peculiar 
shining appearance, and are but little variegate, but on the rostrum and the sides of 
the thorax are much paler than elsewhere, nearly white in fact. £. squalidus is at first
