  Harpahis 
  mexicanus, 
  Chaud. 
  

  

  Found 
  in 
  abundance 
  by 
  Herr 
  Hoge 
  at 
  Villa 
  Lerdo, 
  in 
  

   Burango 
  ; 
  also 
  sparingly 
  at 
  Durango 
  City 
  and 
  Paso 
  del 
  

   Norte. 
  

  

  Pangus 
  caliginosus, 
  Fabr. 
  

  

  Mr. 
  Hcige 
  has 
  found 
  this 
  well-known 
  and 
  conspicuous 
  

   North 
  American 
  species 
  near 
  Chihuahua 
  City. 
  

   The 
  genus 
  is 
  an 
  addition 
  to 
  the 
  Mexican 
  fauna. 
  

  

  Cratacanthus 
  duhius, 
  Beauv. 
  

  

  This 
  species, 
  widely 
  distributed 
  in 
  the 
  Atlantic 
  

   States, 
  has 
  been 
  taken 
  by 
  Herr 
  Hoge 
  at 
  Villa 
  Lerdo, 
  

   in 
  Durango. 
  

  

  Also 
  an 
  additional 
  genus 
  to 
  the 
  Mexican 
  fauna. 
  

  

  Selenophorus 
  aureocuiDreiis. 
  

   Angustus, 
  subelongatus, 
  thorace 
  angulis 
  posticisrotundatis, 
  supra 
  

   seneo-

  aureo-cupreus 
  subnitidus,

  Hah. 
  Huetamo, 
  in 
  Michoacan 
  {Hoge). 
  Many 
  

   examples. 
  

  

  Eesembles 
  in 
  form 
  and 
  in 
  the 
  rounded 
  angles 
  of 
  the 
  

   thorax 
  the 
  smaller 
  and 
  narrower 
  specimens 
  of 
  Discoderus 
  

   arcuatus 
  (Putz.), 
  but 
  the 
  four 
  anterior 
  tarsi 
  of 
  the 
  ^ 
  are 
  

   dilated 
  and 
  biseriate-squamulate 
  beneath, 
  and 
  the 
  species 
  

   therefore 
  belongs 
  to 
  Selenophorus. 
  The 
  hind 
  angles, 
  

   moreover, 
  are 
  not 
  quite 
  so 
  obliterated 
  as 
  in 
  Discoderus 
  

   arcuatus 
  ; 
  they 
  are, 
  on 
  the 
  contrary, 
  perceptible 
  as 
  

   angles, 
  though 
  very 
  obtuse 
  ; 
  the 
  sides 
  of 
  the 
  thorax 
  also 
  

   are 
  not 
  arcuated, 
  the 
  rounding 
  being 
  limited 
  to 
  the 
  front 
  

   a 
  little 
  before 
  the 
  middle, 
  whence 
  they 
  are 
  (especially 
  in 
  

   the 
  (? 
  ) 
  nearly 
  straight 
  to 
  the 
  hind 
  angles 
  ; 
  the 
  disk 
  is 
  

   remarkably 
  convex, 
  the 
  space 
  near 
  the 
  hind 
  angles 
  

   flattened 
  and 
  punctulated, 
  the 
  hind 
  marginal 
  groove 
  not 
  

   interrupted 
  in 
  the 
  middle. 
  The 
  elytra 
  are 
  sharply 
  

   striated, 
  the 
  striae 
  deeper 
  and 
  broad 
  near 
  the 
  apex, 
  the 
  

   row 
  of 
  punctures 
  near 
  the 
  2nd, 
  5th, 
  and 
  7th 
  small 
  but 
  

   conspicuous 
  ; 
  the 
  apex 
  is 
  subacuminate, 
  with 
  strong 
  

   sinuation 
  of 
  the 
  subapical 
  margin.
