separated by the more sparsely squamose upper surface—the scales on the elytra 
clustered into spots or streaks (which sometimes tend to form oblique or curved series 
across the disc) and the seriate punctures more numerous,—the non-tuberculate elytra 
of the female, and the less acuminate apex of the penis-sheath in the male. 
MIMOGRAPHUS. 
Mimographus, Scliénherr, Mant. sec. Cure. p. 84 (1847); Kirsch, Berl. ent. Zeitschr. 1867, 
p. 224 (part.). 
This genus, as adopted here, includes the $.-American species referred to it by 
Kirsch (the types of fifteen of which I have seen) with the elytra setose and their 
outer stria coalescent or very narrowly separated from about the basal third; and the 
antenne comparatively short, with the second joint of the funiculus at most a little 
longer than the first, and the club acuminate-ovate. MW. amandus, Kirsch, is taken 
as the type; IM. dentipes belongs to Hoplopactus, Chevr.; and three others are 
provisionally referred to Stetrarrhinus *, ‘The single representative known to me from 
within our limits is so closely related to the Colombian JZ. jekela that the Mexican 
habitat seems doubtful. 
1. Mimographus mexicanus, sp.n. (Tab. X. figg. 6, ba, 2.) 
Mimographus mexicanus, Jekel, in litt. 
9. Oblong, shining, piceous; thickly clothed (the legs included) with small greenish-white scales, which 
are condensed into a faint vitta on each side of the prothorax; the elytra with a series of minute 
scattered bare spots along each interstice, and a common, transverse, sparsely squamose patch on the 
disc below the base and a larger one beyond the middle, the latter limited behind by a sinuous, oblique, 
sharply defined, bare space ; the upper surface also set with long, scattered, erect, stiff, pallid sete, and 
the under surface, legs, and antenne with long hairs. Head and rostrum narrowly sulcate, densely 
punctate ; antennz rather short, extending very little beyond the base of the prothorax, joint 2 of the 
funiculus not much longer than 1, 3-7 short and moniliform, the club acuminate-ovate. Prothorax 
transverse, slightly constricted before the apex, feebly bisinuate at the base; densely, rugulosely punctate, 
obsoletely sulcate posteriorly. Scutellum depressed, very small. Klytra gradually widening to 
the middle, sinuate at the base, with rows of closely placed rather coarse punctures, the tenth and 
eleventh striz complete, the interstices somewhat convex on the disc, the position of the ‘sete indicated 
by the minute bare spots. Fifth ventral segment with a faint oblique groove on each side at the base, 
Anterior tibix finely denticulate, unguiculate at the inner apical angle. 
Length 113, breadth 42 millim. 
Hab. Mexico (Mus. Lrit., ex coll. Jekel). 
One specimen, in very good condition, acquired in 1868. Closely allied to the 
Colombian M. jekeli, Kirsch (the unique type, 2, of which I have seen), but with 
the antenne stouter and more closely setose, and the outer joints of the funiculus 
transverse; the scales greenish-white throughout; the oblique bare space on each 
elytron placed a little beyond (instead of at) the middle, and the setz less numerous.
