138 RHYNCHOPHORA. 
Group 9. 
17. Epagrius levinasus, sp. n. 
Parvus, piceus, fusco-squamosus, parce hispidus, parum variegatus, antennis tarsisque rufis ; rostro anterius 
levigato, inter oculos canalicula impressa. 
Long. 67 millim. 
Hab. Guatemata, Totonicapam 8500 to 10,500 feet (Champion). 
This species agrees closely in its structural characters with L. pumilus, and, like it, 
has a large smooth surface on the anterior aspect of the rostrum. L. dwvinasus has, 
however, the anterior face of the rostrum broader, and a distinct longitudinal channel 
between the eyes, which are convex. ‘The squamosity of the elytra is dark, and the 
pale marks are therefore more conspicuous; the interstices are very broad and not in 
the least convex. ‘The scrobes of the rostrum are breader than in £. pumilus, and the 
cavernosity of the hind corbels even more obscure. ‘Two specimens. 
18. Epagrius pumilus, sp. n. (Tab. VI. fig. 3.) 
Minutus, niger, squamosus, parce hispidus, parum variegatus, antennis tarsisque rufis; rostro anterius 
leevigato. 
Long. 43 millim. 
Hab. Guatemaua, Duefias (Champion), Tepan (Conradt). 
Antenne slender; second joint of funiculus distinctly longer than the first; club 
dusky red, rather elongate. Rostrum rather broader towards the front, the anterior 
part free from scales, the vertex and the forehead squamose, the eyes scarcely convex. 
Thorax not quite so long as broad, a little rounded at the sides and a good deal 
narrowed in front, coarsely punctate, but the punctures concealed by the squamosity ; 
this is slightly variegate, being mostly of a sordid grey colour, while down the middle, 
and again on each side, there are some white scales. Hlytra a little rounded at the 
sides, the base quite truncate, furnished with regular series of fine, definite punctures, 
the interstices just perceptibly convex, squamose, and with numerous, rather short, 
upright sete ; the squamosity is of a sordid grey colour, and there are some obscure, 
apparently variable white marks. The legs are slender, the middle coxe only minutely 
separated. Six specimens. ‘The female is rather broader than the male. 
In this species the corbels of the hind tibie appear to be open; but on careful 
examination it can be seen that there are two series of cilia at the apex, separated by a 
very minute space.
