ginate or nearly truncate prosternum respectively), it matters but little where the 
insect is placed. A. violaceus has the antenne long and filiform, and the prosternum 
slightly emarginate. 
EUPHRYTUS (p. 124). 
Euphrytus zneus (p. 125). 
Var. Entirely fulvous, the apical joints of the antenne black. 
To the Mexican locality given, add :—Refugio in Durango, Cuernavaca in Morelos, 
Acapulco and Chilpancingo in Guerrero, Mexico city (Hége). 
E. eneus, like the other members of this genus, seems to vary greatly in many 
respects, and it is a species very difficult to define. Entirely fulvous specimens (the 
elytra with a slight eneous gloss) have been obtained at Chilpancingo. 
Euphrytus simplex (p. 125). | 
To the Mexican localities given, add:—Milpas in Durango (Forrer), Durango city, 
Jalapa, Mexico city (Hége). 
It is somewhat doubtful whether LE. simplex is specifically distinct from H. @neus, or 
is merely a variety in which the femoral tooth is not developed. The specimens vary 
to such an extent that I am unable to form any conclusive opinion. As a rule, 
E. simplex is smaller than E. wneus, and has the femora unarmed in both sexes. 
2(s). Euphrytus pallipes. | 
Narrowly elongate, obscure neous; the basal joints of the antenne and the legs pale flavous; thorax very 
closely punctured ; elytra a little more strongly punctured, the punctures arranged in close rows; posterior 
femora in the male with a triangular tooth. 
Length 23 lines. 
Hab. Mexico, Durango and Chihuahua city (Hége). 
E. pallipes may be known from E. eneus, E. simplex, &c. by its smaller and more 
narrowly elongate general shape. The antenne, which extend to two-thirds the length 
of the body, are generally pale fulvous, with the apex of each joint darker, and the 
terminal joint entirely black; the apical joint is broadly triangularly widened, its 
extreme apex being pointed. The thorax is very closely punctured. The legs are 
pale flavous (the lower portion of the femora alone being darker); the posterior femora 
in the male are strongly toothed. The colour of the upper surface is brassy-zneous. 
Four specimens, agreeing entirely in the above particulars. 
2(). Euphrytus intermedius. 
Piceous, the base of the antenne and legs pale flavous ; thorax very finely and closely punctured ; elytra more 
strongly punctate, the punctures geminate, the interstices costate ; femora unarmed. 
Length 2-23 lines. 
Head rather sparingly punctured, with a more or less distinct metallic greenish gloss, the clypeus more closely
