Hab. GuatEMata, Panajachel 5000 feet (Champion). 
One example only of this small species, remarkable for the prolonged and pointed 
apices of the elytra, and for the form of the thorax, the latter resembling a cup in 
which the broadish head is sunk up to the eyes. As in most of the smaller species of 
Euderces, the reduced and detached upper lobe of the eyes, if it exists, is so attenuated 
as not to be distinguishable. 
APILOCERA (p. 60). 
Apilocera spinicornis (p. 60). 
To the Mexican locality given, add :—Jalapa (Hége). 
Taken by Herr Hoge in great abundance at Jalapa. The following species, which 
rests on a single example taken by the same traveller at a different locality, is very 
closely allied : —
