is readily separable, in both sexes, from E. mexicanus by the characters given by 
Dr. Sharp. ‘Ihe insect labelled £. fallax in the Sommer collection is a large female 
of Pseudhypoptus parcus, Fabr. 
Epicerus nebulosus (p. 111). 
? Epicerus neglectus, Boh. in Schénh. Gen, Cure, ii. p. 825°. 
We have now seen a long series of this species and there can be little doubt that 
it was correctly identified by Dr. Sharp, the convex, prominent eyes and the subcon- 
stricted head separating EF. nebulosus from both £. mexicanus and LE. fallax. ‘The type 
of E. neglectus (an insect omitted from the list of species, anted, pp. 105-128), also from 
Mexico 2, cannot now be found in the Hope collection at Oxford: it is probably a 
female of EF. nebulosus. The British Museum has recently received examples of the 
latter from Vera Cruz which were captured by Mr. Crawford. 
15 (a). Epicwrus macropus, sp. n. (Tab. XV. figg. 8, 8a, 3.) 
Very elongate, narrow (d), broader (¥ ), black; thickly clothed with coppery-brown scales, the scales often 
becoming cinereous towards the sides of the elytra, at the base of the femora, and on part of the body 
beneath, the surface also set with short, decumbent, intermixed sete, which become more conspicuous 
on the apical declivity. Rostrum stout, a little longer than the head with the eyes, broadly hollowed 
down the middle, canaliculate from the small inter-ocular fovea, finely punctate, the eyes large, oval, 
depressed ; antenne slender, joint 2 of the funiculus much longerthan 1. Prothorax longer than broad, 
obliquely narrowed anteriorly and subcylindrical in ¢, gradually narrowing forwards in 9, truncate 
at the base ; irregularly, confluently foveolate and with a fine interstitial punctuation, the dise obsoletely 
suleate down the middle. Elytra elongate, not or very little wider than the prothorax in g, broader 
in 2, constricted at the base, the apical declivity (viewed in profile) rounded in both sexes, the humeri 
rather prominent; with rows of moderately coarse scattered punctures, the interstices transversely 
wrinkled. Legs very elongate; anterior tibie obsoletely denticulate. 
Length 123-153, breadth 33-5 millim. (¢ Q.) 
Hab. Mexico, “ Sierra de Durango” (fége). 
Five males and one female. An elongate form nearly related to L. cultripennis, but 
differing from it in the simply rounded (not abruptly perpendicular) apical declivity of 
the elytra, this being particularly noticeable in the female (cf. Tab. V. figg. 3 a, 4¢). 
Epicerus reversus (p. 113). 
To the Mexican localities given, add :—Oaxaca (Mus. Brit.), Chiapas (coll. Fry). 
The types (¢ 2) were from San Andres Tuxtla in Vera Cruz, the female, as usual, 
being much broader than the male. 
21 (a). Epicerus macropterus, sp.n. (Tab. XV. fig. 9, ¢.) 
Very elongate, narrow, black; thickly clothed with greyish-brown scales, which become paler and somewhat 
eupreous on the under surface, the elytra also set with very short, scattered, curled, decumbent sete. 
Rostrum longer than broad, deeply sulcate down the middle, tne sulcus narrowing upwards and nearly 
reaching the conspicuous inter-ocular fovea, and also with a shallow groove on each side before the eyes, 
the latter large and moderately prominent. Prothorax about as long as broad, truncate at the base, 
somewhat rounded at the sides, the latter obliquely converging anteriorly and abruptly constricted before 
the hind angles ; shallowly sulcate down the middle, transversely confluently foveolate, and also closely,
