RHYNCHOPHORA: OTIORHYNCHIN. 21 
sete. Rostrum not sulcate, depressed down the middle towards the apex, and with a small fovea 
between the points of insertion of the antenne; head convex ; joint 2 of the funiculus a little longer 
than 3. Prothorax slightly broader than long, widest before the middle, narrower at the base than at 
the apex, the sides rounded anteriorly and obliquely converging behind, the basal groove very shallow, 
the vibrissee long; the surface impressed with scattered coarse and finer punctures. Elytra convex, 
widened to beyond the middle, the base truncate and about as wide as the base of the prothorax ; finely 
striate, the stria with scattered punctures, the interstices broad and almost flat. Tibis: without denticles 
on their inner edge. Tarsal joints 1-3 with a patch of adhesive pubescence on each side beneath, 
joint 3 of the anterior pair much wider than 2, 
Length 84-9, breadth 3,1,-34 millim. (<¢.) 
Hab, Maxico, Lampazos in Nuevo Leon (C. C. Deam, in U.S. Nat. Mus.). 
‘Two specimens, one (the type) labelled as having been captured at Lampazos in 1890, 
the other (numbered 93) presumably from the same locality, the latter being retained 
for the British Museum. In Mr. Fall’s Table of the N.-American species [Trans. 
Am. Ent. Soc. xxxvi. pp. 193, 194 (1910)], #. turbinatus comes near EF. dunnianus, 
Casey, and H. decipiens, Lec., from both of which, and from the allied EL. duranqoensis, 
Sharp, also, it may be distinguished by the anteriorly widened prothorax. ‘The elytra 
are maculate as in the last-mentioned insects. 
Eupagoderes cretaceus (p. 96). 
‘wo specimens ofa Hupagoderes have been sent us under the name /. sordidus, 
Lec. (det. Pierce), by the U.S. Nat. Museum: one of these, from Arizona, does not 
differ from E. cretaceus, Sharp; the other, from San Bernardino, California, is probably 
a form of E. aridus, Fall. If the Arizona insect is correctly named, the name 
FE. cretaceus, Sharp (the types of which are from Villa Lerdo in Durango), will fall as 
a synonym of HL. sordidus. 
12. Eupagoderes depressirostris, sp. n. 
Obovate, black, clothed with intermixed brownish-cinereous and white scales, and also set with fine scattered 
sete, which become longer, suberect, and more crowded on the apical declivity. Itostrum flattened and 
somewhat abruptly separated from the head, without trace of median groove, the oblique lateral sulci 
faintly indicated ; joint 2 of the funiculus about half the length of 3. Prothorax strongly transverse, 
comparatively small, somewhat rounded at the sides, feebly constricted just betore the base, the basal 
groove almost obsolete on the disc, the vibrisse extremely short; sparsely, coarsely punctate and 
obsoletely canaliculate. Elytra convex, rotundate-ovate, abruptly declivous behind, the apices obtuse ; 
rather coarsely punctate-striate, the interstices broad and almost flat. Legs not very stout; third tarsal 
joint with a small patch of adhesive pubescence on each side beneath. 
Length 72, breadth 33 millim. 
Hab. Mexico, Villa Lerdo in Durango (/éqe). 
One specimen, somewhat abraded, and for that reason left unnamed by Dr. Sharp. 
This species approaches EL. gracilis*, but it has the elytra almost as globose as in 
* Additional specimens of Z. gracilis have been received from Matamoros Izucar and Tlaltizapan (Flohr), 
some of these showing a distimet narrow median sulcus on the rostrum.
