Epicerus cognatus (p. 105). 
To the Mexican localities given, add:—Toluca (Wickham), Parada, Puebla (Sadlé), 
Pachuca (Hoge). 
Epicerus sulcirostris (p. 106). 
This insect, the types of which are from Esperanza, seems to be an extreme form of 
£. vilis; both occur at Parada. 
Epiczrus niger (p. 106). 
The types of this species were from Orizaba: the male is narrower and more elongate 
than the female, and it has the elytra strongly constricted at the sides below the 
humeri, so that the latter become very prominent. There is a similar male in 
the collection of Signor Solari, from that of Jekel, labelled * Diorynotus alternans, J.” 
Epiczrus costatus (p. 109). 
Var. The depressed portions of the upper surface sparsely clothed with intermixed cinereous and bluish- 
green scales ; the elytral interstices 1 (sutural), 3, 5, and 7 broadly, and the others narrowly and feebly, 
costate.

To the localities given, add :—Norru America, Brownsville in Texas ° ’.—Mexico, 
Tampico in Tamaulipas (Schwarz, in U.S. Nat. Mus.), Tehuantepec (coll. Fry). 
The females of this very variable species are often much less elongate than the males. 
Texan examples do not differ from some of those before me trom Oaxaca. 
Epicerus fallax (p. 110). 
To the locality Mrxico, add:—Tampico in Tamaulipas (Schwarz, in U.S. Nat. Mus.). 
No definite locality in Mexico was known for /. fallax, but it is not likely that all 
the examples of it in collections came from so far north as Tamaulipas, whence I have 
recently seen a good series belonging to the U.S. National Museum. ‘his species
