RHYNCHOPHORA: OTIORHYNCHIN &. 320 
finely punctate. Elytra very elongate, at the basal third slightly wider than the prothorax, constricted 
just behind the prominent humeri, convex on the apical declivity; the seriate punctures fine and 
scattered, the interstices feebly transversely undulate. Anterior tibia with several short setigerous 
denticles scattered along their inner edge. 
Length 103, breadth nearly 3 millim, (<¢.) 
Hab. Mexico, Zacualtipan in Hidalgo (/ége). 
One specimen, labelled by Dr. Sharp “ sp. n. near championi,” from which it differs 
in its much more elongate shape, longer rostrum, obsoletely denticulate anterior tibie, 
transversely rugose prothorax, and less undulate elytra. Seventeen specimens of the 
Guatemalan insect were captured and there is nothing intermediate. ‘he small 
denticles on the anterior tibie are wanting in the latter. 
21 (s). Epicerus depilis. 
Epicerus depilis, Boh. in Schéuh. Gen. Cure. vi. 2, p. 279°. 
Very like H. macropterus, but with the rostrum shorter (not longer than the exposed portion of the head) 
and more narrowly sulcate; the antennee shorter and stouter, with the outer joints of the funiculus as 
broad as long; the prothorax less rugose, the coarse punctures mostly separate one from another: the 
elytra more convex at the base, rounded on the apical declivity, the humeri not prominent, the seriate 
punctures very coarse and deep. 
Length 10, breadth 3 millim. ( @ ?) 
Hab. Mexico (coll. Sommer '), 
Fi. depilis was sunk as a synonym of H. cultripennis by Dr. Sharp (antea, p. 111), 
but an inspection of the abraded type shows that this is not the case. It is just 
possible that £. macropterus may prove to be the male of the same species. 
Epicerus capetillensis (p. 115). 
To the localities given, add :—Britisn Honpuras, Rio Sarstoon (Blancaneaur). 
Epicerus griseus (p. 117). 
Iam unable to distinguish . sphwroides from E. griseus, Boh., doubtfully retained 
as distinct by Dr. Sharp, and the two forms would be better treated as one, for which 
the name griseus should be used. 
Epicerus monclove (p. 118). (Tab. XV. figg. 10, 104, ¢.) 
The type of this insect (length 7, breadth 351; mm.) is a large, almost immaculate 
female. ‘The male is smaller, narrower, and so distinctly maculate that I should have 
hesitated to treat it as the sexual complement of the same species, were it not from 
the same locality, Monclova in Coahuila. It may be described thus :— 
do. Oblong, densely albo-squamose ; the prothorax with two very broad greyish-brown vitte on the disc 
(leaving a submarginal line on each side and a narrow median stripe white), the elytra also greyish- 
brown, with the following white markings :—a transverse patch at the base, an oblique fascia on the 
outer part of the disc before the middle, extending forwards along the margin to the shoulder, a trans- 
verse interrupted subapical fascia (formed by two subconfluent spots), and a common apical patch. 
Length 5, breadth 2,') millim.
