, a. Corpus pubesccns; anten. art. ult. subtruncato; abdom. art. 6to 



plerumque exserto. 



1. E. cinctus, obscure feirugineus, pubescens, thorace guttis discoidalibus 

 nigris, elytris punctatis, nigris, limbo omni late ferrugineo, corpore subtus, 

 tibiis basi, antennisque nigris, his basi apiceque ferrugineis. Long. '4. 



One specimen, New Braunfels, Texas; Mr. Lindheimer. Head and thorax 

 dark ferruginous, the latter twice as wide as its length, sides reflexed and 

 rounded anteriorly as in the others, with the basal impression extending in front 

 of the middle; disc very sparsely punctured, marked with some ill-defined black 

 spots, and two dots near the lateral margin. Elytra tolerably finely punctured, 

 pubescent, black, with the suture, lateral margin, base and tip ferruginous ; tip 

 truncate obliquely, as in the others. Under surface piceous black ; anus and 

 feet ferruginous, base of tibiae black. Antennae black, first joint and tip of last 

 joint ferruginous. Anterior tibiae with an interior prominence below the 

 middle. 



2. E. p u n c t a t u s, obscure ferrugineu", pubescens, thorace disco nigro-gut- 

 tato, parce grosse punctato, elytris grosse punctatis, nigro-piceis, limbo omni 

 ferrugineo, antennis nigris, basi apiceque ferrugineis, articulo 3io sequentibus 

 duobus breviore. Long. '25. 



Georgia. Narrower than the preceding, and with much coarser punctures. 

 This is mentioned in Dejean's Catalogue under the name adopted. There is a 

 very slight sinus at the inner margin of the anterior tibioe near the middle. 



3. E. disco id a lis, obscure ferrugineus, pubescens, thorace parce punc- 

 tato, obsolete nigro-guttato, elytris grosse punctatis, nigro-piceis, limbo omni 

 ferrugineo, antennis nigris basi apiceque ferrugineis, articulo tertio sequentibus 

 duobus squalls. Long. '25. 



Texas, Lieut. Haldeman. Resembles the preceding very closely ; the third 

 joint of the antennae is, however, longer, and the punctuation perceptibly less 

 coarse. The anterior tibiae of both sexes are slightly mucronate internally at 

 the middle. The antennae of the male are more slender than those of the 

 female, the thorax is narrower and the posterior angles more acute. 



b. Corpus glabrum; antennae art. ult. truncato; abdom. art. 6to 



plerumque retracto. 



4. E. 1 ae t u s, elongatus, ferrugineus, nitidus, thorace parce punctulato, linea 

 transversa basali valde impressa, disco nigro-notato, antice transversim inj- 

 presso, elytris subtilius punctatis, nigro-cyaneis, basi apice epipleurisque flavis, 

 femoribus clavatis, antennis nigris. Long. '32. 



Two specimens, San Francisco, Cal., under bark. The body is narrower than 

 in the others, the thorax is one third wider than its length, the sides are more 

 strongly reflexed; the basal impressions are deep, reaching beyond the middle, 

 and are connected by a very deeply impressed line near the margin ; the disc is 

 deeply transversely impressed before the middle, and is finely not densely punc- 

 tulate ; an indistinct black spot marks the junction of the transverse impres- 

 sion with the prolongation of the basal lines. The elytra are shining blackish 

 blue, densely and finely punctured, with the base, the epipleurae, the bead of the 

 lateral margin and the apex, reddish yellow ; tip rounded. Beneath bright 

 ferruginous, thighs moderately clavate ; anterior tibiae strongly mucronate 

 int >rnqlly at the middle. Antennae black, third joint nearly as long as the two 

 following. 



5. E. 1 in eat as, oblongo-elongatus, obscure ferrugineus, nitidus, thorace 

 linea basali transversa, disco piceo-binotato, elytris obsolete punctulatis, sutura 

 plaiiaque laterali oblonga late nigris, femoribus clavatis, tibiis basi antennisque 

 nigris, his articulo ultimo rufo-piceo. Long. '25.
