sight very similar to E. cinereus, but it has a rather larger thorax, which is obsoletely 
punctured, a longer and deeper median channel on the rostrum, and the lateral channels 
are parallel with this, not convergent above. ‘Two specimens.

This insect is very closely allied to E. sgualidus, and has a similar rostrum; but the 
scales of the upper surface are white, and have not the peculiar nitid appearance that 
they have in E. squalidus. It also resembles E. dunnianus, Casey, but the latter species 
has a differently channelled rostrum. 
Two examples, both in bad preservation.

One specimen only exists in our Mexican collections, but it agrees with a pair from 
Arizona, sent to me by Captain Casey. The species may be known by its convex 
forehead, by the median groove of the rostrum being absent, though represented by a 
small fovea, by the deeply punctate thorax, by the fine strie on the elytra, and by the 
squalid clothing thereon being variegated by darker patches. ‘The insect bears a 
considerable general resemblance to H. cinereus. | 
11. Eupagoderes gracilis, sp.n. (Tab. IV. fig. 12.)

This is distinguished from all our other species by the apparent absence of fimbrie on 
the ocular lobes. The rostrum has no transverse impression at the base, but the front 
of the head has a separate convexity from the rostrum; there is a very vague broad 
impression along the middle of the latter, terminating above in a sort of fovea; this 
impression is due chiefly to a slight elevation of the inner margin of the lateral grooves, 
these latter being elongate and definite. Thorax elongate, rounded at the sides, and 
conyex longitudinally as well as transversely, destitute of basal margin. Hlytra small
