  Remarks. 
  — 
  Kupagoderes 
  grUeiis 
  rcsend)les 
  closely 
  E. 
  gcminatus 
  

   Horn. 
  Although 
  when 
  series 
  of 
  the 
  two 
  species 
  are 
  placed 
  side 
  by 
  

   side 
  they 
  aj)f)ear 
  vory 
  different, 
  an 
  attempt 
  to 
  discover 
  just 
  what 
  the 
  

   differences 
  are 
  reveals 
  .so 
  much 
  variation 
  that 
  all 
  the 
  characters 
  are 
  

   eliminated 
  except 
  the 
  female 
  genitalia, 
  the 
  median 
  sulcus 
  of 
  the 
  

   rostrum, 
  and 
  tlie 
  tnmcation 
  of 
  the 
  hind 
  tibiiie. 
  The 
  truncation 
  of 
  

   the 
  hind 
  tibiae 
  in 
  grlseuJi 
  is 
  usually 
  broader 
  and 
  more 
  transverse, 
  

   lacking 
  the 
  raised 
  inner 
  edge 
  found 
  so 
  frequently 
  in 
  E. 
  geminatu8. 
  

   The 
  hitter 
  clinnicter 
  is, 
  however, 
  subject 
  to 
  some 
  variation.
