ART. 27 NEW BUPRESTID BEETLES FISHER 31 



AGRILUS TEJUPILCOENSIS, new species 



Feiimle. — Rather robust, strongly flattened above, feebly shining; 

 above and beneath reddish cupreous, with a vague aeneous reflection, 

 the elytra ornamented with A^ellowish-white pubescent spots. 



Head with the front rather wide, nearly flat, slightly wider at 

 top than at bottom, lateral margins feebly converging from top to 

 bottom, and with a broad depression extending to the lateral mar- 

 gins; surface finely, densely granulose, vaguely rugose, sparsely, 

 coarsely punctate, and sparsely clothed with short, inconspicuous 

 hairs; epistoma slightl}^ transverse between the antennae, siibtrian- 

 gular, strongly elevated, broadly, rather deeply, arcuately emarginate 

 in front, the surface depressed; antenna short, serrate from the 

 fourth joint, the outer joints strongly triangular and about as long 

 as wide; eyes large, equally rounded above and beneath. 



Pronotum one third wilder than long, about equal in width at base 

 and apex, widest at middle; sides feebly, arcuately rounded from 

 apical angles to posterior angles, which are rectangular ; when viewed 

 from the side the marginal carina moderately sinuate, the sub- 

 marginal carina nearly straight, the two carinae widely separated 

 anteriorly but joined behind the middle; anterior margin nearly 

 transversely truncate, without a median lobe; base rather deeply, 

 angularly emarginate at middle of each elytron, with the median 

 lobe strongly produced, broadly rounded, and subtruncate in front 

 of scutellum; disk moderately convex, with a broad, rather deep, 

 median depression extending from anterior margin to base, a broad 

 depression on each side along lateral margin, but without prehumeral 

 carinae or round swellings near the posterior angles ; surface vaguely 

 granulose, coarsely but not deeply, more or less transversely rugose, 

 sparsely, finely punctate between the rugae, rather densely clothed 

 in the median and lateral depressions with moderately long, recum- 

 bent, yellowish-white pubescence. Scutellum strongly, transversely 

 carinate, the surface finely, densely reticulate. 



Elytra slightly wider than pronotum at base, subequal in width 

 at base and behind middle; sides nearly parallel to behind middle 

 (vaguely constricted in front of middle), then obliquely narrowed 

 to the tips, which are separately narrowly rounded and finely serru- 

 late; sides of abdomen broadly exposed above; disk rather strongly 

 flattened along sutural margins, which are slightly elevated posteri- 

 orly, with broad, deep, basal depressions, and a vague, obtuse, longi- 

 tudinal costa at middle of each elytron; surface coarsely, densely, 

 imbricate-punctate, each elytron ornamented with short, recumbent, 

 3^ellowish-white pubescence as follows : A small spot in basal depres- 

 sion; a small, round spot near middle at basal third; a small, round 

 spot at middle near lateral margin; an elongate spot at apical third
