EPICERUS. 119 
the base, densely squamose, and furnished with very regular series of deep, moderately 
large punctures. Under surface squamose. One specimen. 
There is no other species of the genus at all like this one ; indeed, in appearance it 
more resembles Tosastes globipennis and T. humeralis. 
32. Epicerus durangoensis, sp.n. (Tab. V. fig. 11.) 
Angustus, ubique griseo-squamosus, in elytris subvariegatus, setulisque brevibus vestitus; elytris seriebus 
punctorum haud remotorum, interstitiis subconvexis. 
Long. 7 millim. 
Hab. Mexico, Durango city (Hoge). 
Antenne with moderately long slender club, which is black in colour. Rostrum 
oblong, densely squamose, very feebly canaliculate along the middle, with a deep, 
moderately long frontal channel. Thorax 2 millim. long, slightly transverse, densely 
covered with grey and brown squamosity, which conceals the rugose surface; there is 
a shallow and obsolete channel along the middle. Elytra covered with grey and pale 
brown squamosity, the squamosity much mottled, but not forming any definite pattern ; 
with quite regular series of rather fine deep punctures, and with a recumbent setosity 
on the interstices. Legs densely covered with squamosity. 
33. Epicerus planirostris, sp. n. (Tab. V. fig. 12.) 
Sordide squamosus; rostro brevi, densissime punctato, fere «quali, fronte anguste canaliculata; prothorace 
fortiter transverso, subsequali, medio vix obsolete canaliculato vel punctato; elytris seriebus punctorum sat 
remotorum. 
Long. 8 millim. 
Hab. Mexico, Guanajuato (Sallé), Lagos in Aguas Calientes (Hége). 
Rostrum short and broad, densely punctate, squamose ; eyes moderately convex ; 
forehead with a very definite fine channel, nearly as long as the length of the eye. 
Thorax very strongly transverse, a little narrowed from the middle to the front, without 
rugosities or punctuation, and with only an obsolete interrupted median channel; the 
surface is squamose, and there is a fine basal margin. Elytra densely squamose, the 
squamosity scarcely variegate, covering regular series of rather fine punctures. Four 
specimens. 
This species is twice as large as Bradyrhynchus toluce, and has the rostrum flat on 
the anterior aspect; it should be readily identified by the fine but comparatively 
elongate and definite channel on the forehead.
