160 REV. H.S. GORHAM ON NEW COLEOPTERA. [ Mar. 16 
2. ANIDRYTUS LIQUEFACTUS, Gorh. Endom. Rec. p. 47. 
I have received specimens of both sexes of what I consider 
identical with this species, of which the type is now in Mr. Lewis’s 
possession from Peru, and one male from New Granada (?) ; but these 
have only three joints at the base of the antenne red, and the apical 
joint is quite black. The size is from 73-83 millim. 
3. AnIpRyTUS HUMILIS, Gorh. Endom. Ree. p. 48. 
Further specimens were taken by Mr. Belt at Chontales, 
Nicaragua, and will be noticed in the ‘ Biologia Centr.-Amer.’ in due 
course. 
EPoprrteRvs. 
1. Epopterus EGANus. (Plate XVII. fig. 9.) 
Ovatus, rufo-brunneus, nitidus ; antennis nigris, articulis tribus 
basalibus testaceis; elytris singulis maculis tribus sat magnis 
eburneo-albidis nigro-cinctis, duabus basalibus oblique sitis, una 
subapicali. Long. 5-53 millim. 3 Q. 
Mas. ibiis anticis leviter curvatis, ad apices compressis. 
Hab. Amazon, Ega (H. W. Bates). 
Head and thorax rather pale castaneous red, not perceptibly 
punctured, very finely and very sparsely pubescent at the sides of 
the latter, narrowed to the front angles, and very narrowly margined ; 
basal sulci short, linear. Scutellum black. Elytra wider than the 
thorax, commencing to widen from the base to about one third from 
the base, whence they are evenly and ovally contracted to the apex ; 
each with three large yellowish-white spots edged with black. The 
underside is brownish red, the tibiee darker at their bases than the 
rest of the leg, as are also (but only very finely) the inner epipleural 
margins of the elytra. 
Two examples from Mr. Bates’s collection are now in Mr. Lewis’s. 
2. EpopTeRvs EPHIPPIGER. (Plate XVII. fig. 8.) 
Ovatus, rufo-piceus, nitidus ; elytris flavis macula magna discoidali 
communi nigra; antennis nigris, articulis tribus basalibus flavis ; 
prothorace crebre, elytris parcius leviter punctatis. Long. 6 
millim. 3. 
Mas. Tibiis anticis ad apices interne compressis, leviter incurvatis. 
Hab. Amazon (H. W. Bates). 
Nearly of the same oval form and of the size of EH. eganus, but 
distinctly punctured. Head red, nearly smooth; thorax twice as 
wide as long, not so wide as the elytra at their base, thickly and 
distinctly punctured ; basal sulci straight, a little converging, sides 
narrowing, slightly curved, margin distinct and faintly raised. 
Seutellum rufous, punctured. Elytra paler yellow than the thorax, 
punctures distinct, only a few scattered hairs at the sides ; epipleurze 
yellow, only very narrowly darker at their margins. Underside and 
legs uniformly pitchy red. 
I have only seen one example of this species, a male. It is very 
distinct from any Epopterus yet described.
