EPAGRIUS. 139 
Group 6. 
19. Epagrius inzqualis, sp.n. (Tab. VI. fig. 5.) 
Grosse sculpturatus, squamosus, elytris pone medium fascia angulata albida; oculis convexis; prothorace in 
medio profunde biimpresso. 
Long. 11-13 millim. 
Hab. GuatTemaLa, Duefias, Capetillo, Zapote, Panajachel (Champion), Chimaltenango 
(Conradt) ; Hoypuras (Sallé) ; Costa Rica (van Patten); Panama, Bugaba (Champion). 
Rostrum broader towards the apex, broadly depressed along the middle; eyes placed 
near the thorax, very convex ; antenne with the scape setose and squamose. ‘Thorax 
rounded at the sides, the surface rendered uneven by large vague depressions, and with 
two large impressions placed along the middle, one in front of the other and more or 
less confluent. Elytra truncate at the base, with the humeral angles a little prominent 
and directed very slightly outwards, uneven, with coarse, closely-placed depressions ; 
covered with a sordid squamosity of minute densely-placed scales, with an angulate 
whitish band across the middle, and with a more indistinct similar band before the 
middle, and another behind it. Legs squamose; posterior tibiz without mucro at the 
hind angle. 
We have received twenty-four examples of this very distinct species, several of them 
being more or less abraded and dirty. Although it looks as if it should be placed in a 
distinct genus, I can find no good characters to separate it; the front of the pro- 
sternum is somewhat incrassate and dependent, so as to form a sort of lip, but this 
character appears also, though to a less extent, in some other species,

20. Epagrius samson, sp.n. (Tab. VI. fig. 2,2.) 
Maximus, niger, elongatus, elytris seriatim foveolatis, foveolis squamosis; tibiis plus minusve griseo- 
squamosis. 
Long. 17-27 willim. 
Hab, Mexico, Yucatan (Sallé), Temax in North Yucatan (Gawmer); Guatema.a, El 
Tumbador, Volcan de Atitlan (Champion). 
Rostrum distinctly broader at the tip, deeply and broadly impressed along the middle ; 
lateral impressions deep, rather short; eyes convex, surrounded in greater part by a 
very deep sulcus. ‘Thorax elongate, nearly straight at the sides behind, rounded and 
much narrowed in front; the surface minutely punctate, with a few remote larger 
punctures, and with a more or less interrupted and indistinct groove along the middle. 
Elytra elongate, marked with series of fovee or very large punctures, which are smaller on 
the apical parts, the transverse interstices as distinct as the longitudinal ones ; the fovea 
are partially filled with small scales, and there is a minute, scanty setosity on the inter- 
stices. Posterior tibie armed at the apex with a large mucro. Fourteen specimens.
