I have referred to this genus a number of small, subcylindrical, pubescent species 
allied to Desmiphora and Therchetes. The only one of Leconte’s species with which I 
have been able to compare them is EL. suwbarmatus ; and with this they are certainly con- 
generic, but they are generally more coarsely pubescent. All have short muzzles, large 
coarsely-granulated eyes, and antenne in which the scape is short, thick, and abruptly 
narrowed on one side at the base, with third and fourth joints elongated, and the fifth 
to eleventh much shortened. The middle cotyloid cavities are not quite closed. In 
most the middle tibize show scarcely any trace of the groove on their outer edge; in 
others it is visible. There is a difference among the species, also, in the degree of 
depression of the crown between the antenniferous tubercles: in some this depression is 
scarcely perceptible; and such species, except for their long pubescence and cylindrical 
forms, might almost be referred to Estola. Nine species have been already described, 
from the United States, Central, and the northern parts cf South America. My genus 
Eriopsiius is not to be distinguished from Eupogonius as here defined.

3. Eupogonius longipilis. 
Subcylindricus, castaneo-niger, pilis longissimis passim vestitus ; capite et thorace multo angustioribus quam 
elytra, illo antice brevi sed quadrangulari, hoc parvo vittis minus distinctis tribus fulvis; antennis scapo 
graciliore, articulo tertio gracili valde elongato, quarto paullo breviore ; elytris nitidis, punctatis, apice 
rotundatis, supra plagiatim fulvo tomentosis; pedibus castaneis, tibiis: pallidioribus, intermediis extus 
integris. 
Long. 22 lin. 
The antenne are more slender than in EZ. subarmatus and E. subceneus, but present 
similar proportions as to length of the separate joints, the scape only being rather longer 
and more slender. The thorax is cylindrical, but relatively shorter and narrower than 
in the other species ; its lateral tubercle is small, as in the rest of the genus, but more 
sharply pointed.
