84 LAMELLICORNIA. 



II. Scutellum small. 



A. Apical setae of the hind tibice equal in length. 



a. Base of the thorax margined. 



2. Aphodius sallaei. (Tab. VI. fig. ] o.) 



Aphodius sallei, Harold, Berl. ent. Zeitschr. 1863, p. 336 \ 



Hah. Mexico \ Cordova, Puebla (Salle), Villa Lerclo, Jalapa, Vera Cruz, Oaxaca, 

 Tehuantepec (Edge) ; Guatemala, near the city, Aceituno, Duefias, Capetillo, Zapote, 

 Coatepeque, Rio Maria Linda, San Joaquin, Balheu, Purula, San Geronimo, Cubilguitz, 

 Tamahu, La Tinta (Champion) ; Nicaragua, Grey town, Chontales (Janson) ; Costa Rica, 

 Volcan de Irazu (Rogers). 



We figure an example from Cordova. 



3. Aphodius lansbergei. 



Aphodius lansbergei, Harold, Berl. ent. Zeitschr. 1874, p. 179 \ 

 Hab. Mexico, Cordova (Salle l ). 



This species and the preceding are allied to A. granarius, but have an emarginated 

 clypeus, and the head and elytra castaneous, the latter being streaked with black. In 

 A. sallmi the anterior tibiae are punctured on the upperside, and the elytral stripe sulci- 

 form; in A. lansbergei the tibiae are smooth, and the elytral striae fine; the interstices 

 are flat in both species. A. sallwi appears to be an abundant species, whilst A. lans- 

 bergei is rare. 



I have seen only the typical example in the Salle collection. 



4. Aphodius indutilis. 



Aphodius indutilis, Harold, Berl. ent. Zeitschr. 1874, p. 178 \ 



Hab. Mexico 1 (Salle), near the city (Flohr, Hoge), Zacualtipan (Edge) ; Guatemala, 

 Quezaltenango, Quiche Mountains, Capetillo (Champion). 



This species resembles in form and colour the allied North-American A. ruricola, 

 Melsh., from which Von Harold distinguishes it chiefly by the coarsely rugose-punctate 

 head and less prominent genae. 



5. Aphodius aztecus. (Tab. VI. fig. 11.) 



Aphodius azteca, Harold, Berl. ent. Zeitschr. 1863, p. 381 l ; 1871, p. 252. 

 Hab. Mexico \ Jacale (Salle). 



6. Aphodius vittatus. 



Aphodius vittatus, Say, Journ. Acad. Phil. v. p. 191 ] ; Complete Writings, ii. p. 295; Harold, Berl. 

 ent. Zeitschr. 1863, p. 355 2 ; Horn, Trans. Am. Ent. Soc. 1870, p. 120 3 .
