132 RHYNCHOPHORA. 
5. Epagrius variolosus, sp. n. 
Brevis, convexus, niger, subsenescens, squamulis pallidis, parcis subvariegatus ; rostro medio late impresso ; 
elytris punctis seriatis fere variolosis impressis. 
Long. 11 millim. 
Hab. Mexico, Amula and Xucumanatlan, both in Guerrero (H. H. Smith). 
In form similar to HL. eperculatus, but with a short broad impression on the rostrum 
and with larger punctures on the elytra. Antenne with slender, quite black, club. 
Rostrum short and broad, with a broad, deep, short impression on the middle, this 
impression limited in front by a sharply marked elevation separating it from the 
apical angular depression; on each side there is a rather deep, short depression, and on 
the forehead a moderately large fovea. Thorax short and broad, 23 millim. long by 
32 millim. broad, a little narrowed in front, the disc depressed and with a few large 
punctures and an obsolete canaliculation in the depression, two or three obsolete 
punctures on each side. Elytra covered with scales which are separated by rather large 
intervals, these scales to some extent pallid and disposed so as to indicate very vaguely 
two transverse irregular dark marks, one across the middle, and another bctween 
this and the extremity ; they bear very deep punctures, placed in series, and separated 
by somewhat convex spaces. Legs short, with much pallid setosity. 
Two specimens. 
Group 2. 
6. Hpagrius parada@, sp.n. (Tab. V. fig. 20.) 
Niger, subsenescens, nitidus, squamulis pallidis variegatus; rostro crasso, profundius tri-impresso ; prothorace 
disco foveolis magnis impresso; elytris punetis seriatis subvariolosis impressis. 
Long. 74-83 millim. 
Hab. Muxico, Parada (Sallé). 
Antenne with much white setosity, extending quite to the base of the moderately 
broad club, the latter black. Rostrum broad and very short, nitid, finely punctate, 
with only a very minute punctiform fovea on the forehead, but in front of the eyes 
with three very deep impressions—the lateral one on each side unusually deep, the 
median one remarkably broad and abruptly terminated in front in a rounded manner. 
Thorax short and broad, slightly narrowed in front, at the sides covered with pale 
squamosity, on the dise with some large punctures or depressions, two of which form 
along the middle an interrupted sulcus abbreviated behind. Elytra with series of 
rather large, moderately deep punctures, separated by somewhat convex interstices, and 
with a pallid squamosity arranged so as to leave a dark mark behind the middle, which 
mark is dilated and angular on the suture behind. Legs short. 
We have received only two specimens of this distinct species. They are probably 
male and female, the latter being much the broader.
