CERAMUYCIDAE. 327 



Group IV. — Eupogonii. 



The eyes are very eoai'sely granulated, with the lower lube not 

 transverse; they are larger iu Lypsiiueua tiiaii in Eupogoiiius- 

 antennas not longer than the body, scape feebly clavate, shorter 

 than 3d joint; clothed with long flying hairs in Eupogonius, 

 sparsely ciliate beneath in Lypsiuaena; prothorax densely punc- 

 tured, without dorsal tubercles, armed on the side with a small 

 acute spine; elytra sparsely punctured, with irregular mottlings 

 of yellowish pubescence iu some species, with only erect hairs iu 

 Eu. subarmalus. Body and legs clothed with erect hairs, which 

 are usually very long, but shorter in the species just mentioned. 

 Legs short, equal, middle tibiag without sinus or tubercle; 1st 

 joint of hind tarsi a little longer than the 2d. Last ventral 

 rounded at tip, larger in 9 than %. 



Eu. auhai'inatus bears a deceptive resemblance to Amphionycha, 

 and the first specimen collected being mutilated, was described as 

 belonging to that genus, from which it is al)undantly distinct by 

 the coarsely granulated eyes, and entire ungues. 



Body with flying hairs ; 



Antennae pilose, joints .''i-lO shorter, equal. Eupogonius. 



No flying hairs ; * 



AntenniB sparsely ciliate beneath, outer joints very gradually sliorter, 

 prothorax unarmed. Lypsimena. 



Group V. — Zaploi. 



We have established this group on a very anomalous small 

 species Zaplouii HubbanU IjCc, found in Florida. It combines 

 the characters of the other groups, as will be seen in the table, 

 to a rather remarkable degree. The following characters will 

 enable it to be readily recognized. 



Body small, not very robust, with short pros.trate pubescence. 

 Head short, not channelled, eyes deeply eniarginate, rather 

 coarsely granulated. Antennae shorter than the body, scape long, 

 slender, slightly clavate (as in Liopus, etc ), 2d nearly one-third 

 as long as the 1st, 3d and 4th elongate, equal together to the 

 remaining ones united. Prothorax with sides rounded, son)e- 

 tinies feebly angulated ; front coxas widely angulated. Legs 

 short, thighs stout, not clavate; front tibiaj feebly grooved; 

 middle tibitc with an external sinus. Tarsi short, 1st joint 

 scarcely longer than 2d, last joint long; claws divaricate.
