224 UBANIUS AENEUS. 



A male in the collection of the Brussels Museum , with- 

 out indication of the locality, a female from Mexico in 

 the Tring Museum, another female from Chiriqui in my 

 own collection. 



The male was labelled by Mr. Power ^^Episphalesf sub- 

 genus? aeneus Pow. in litt." and I think Episphales La- 

 cordairei Pow. ^) from Mexico , and probably also Episphales 

 interruptolineatus (Gylh.) ~), may be referred to the genus 

 Ubanius. According to Power's description E. Lacordairei 

 Pow. has: „capite quadrato , supra duabus retro prolatis 

 cristis propeque oculos duobus dentibus retortis". . . . and 

 . . . ." anterioribus tibiis arcuatis, dente armatis" .... whilst 

 in the genus Episphales the head and the anterior tibiae 

 are otherwise shaped , as we see in E. pictus Kirsch.
