EURHINUS. 395 
the fifth furnished with a deep, transverse, piligerous fovea; and the joints 2-7 of 
the funiculus shallowly sulcate beneath, the outer ones very strongly transverse. 
E. cupratus (Illiger), from Brazil, is similarly coloured, except that the legs are 
wholly blue. 
2. Hurhinus cupripes. (Tab. XIX. figg. 31, 31a, b, 3.) 
Eurhinus cupripes, Pasc. Ann. & Mag. Nat. Hist. (5) xvii. p. 4267. 
Hab. Mexico (Mus. Brit.), Puebla (Sallé). 
I have seen four specimens of this species, including the type (¢), which may be 
known by its brilliant green or blue body, with cupreous head, rostrum, femora, and 
tibie, and the broad, deep, transverse excavation at the base of each elytron. The 
male characters are similar to those of EZ. festivus and its varieties. 
3. Eurhinus viridipes, sp.n. (Tab. XIX. figg. 32, 32a, 6, 3.) 
Rhomboidal, robust, very shining, above blue or bluish-green, beneath in great part and the legs and rostrum 
(except sometimes at the tip) green, the antennee eneous. Head very sparsely, minutely punctate, 
transversely depressed and shallowly foveate between the ey:s; rostrum stout, curved, as long as the 
head and prothorax, somewhat closely punctate, the antenne inserted beyond the middle. Prothorax 
transverse, rather convex, subconical, abruptly narrowed and tubulate in front; sparsely, minutely 
punctate. Scutellum short, broad, rounded behind. LElytra subtriangular, excavate and foveate at the 
base of the third stria, the humeri swollen and subangularly dilated; very finely seriate-punctate, striate 
at the base, apex, sides, and near the suture. Pygidium closely punctate. Beneath very sparsely punc- 
tate, the sides of the pro-, meso-, and metasternum almost smooth. 
3g. Joints 2-7 of the funiculus sulcate beneath; anterior tibize elongate, somewhat curved, and with the 
subapical tooth small; intermediate tibie angularly dilated on the inner edge near the base; anterior 
tarsi elongated, with joints 2 and 3 strongly dilated and hairy, 3 very large; first ventral segment 
depressed in the middle and the fifth with a large, transverse, piligerous fovea. 
Length 73-93, breadth (at shoulders) 44-6), millim. (¢ @.) 
Hab. Mexico (Truqui,in Mus. Brit.), Cuernavaca (Sallé, Hoge), Panislahuaca (Sallé), 
Tehuantepec (Mus. Brit.). 
Nine specimens. Extremely like large, typical H. festivus, but with the upper 
surface blue or bluish-green, and the anterior tarsi of the male longer and much more 
dilated. From £. cupripes, which has a similarly-coloured body, it may be distin- 
guished by the shallower and less transverse excavation at the base of the elytra, and 
the green head, rostrum, and legs. The S.-American EH. cyaneus, Gyll., is also very 
similar to E. viridipes, but it is entirely blue, above and beneath, and has a deeper and 
larger basal fovea on the elytra.
