One specimen, New Braunfels, Texas; Mr. Lindheimer. Head and thorax 
dark ferruginous, the latter twice as wide as its length, sides reflexed and 
rounded anteriorly as in the others, with the basal impression extending in front 
of the middle; disc very sparsely punctured, marked with some ill-defined black 
spots, and two dots near the lateral margin. Elytra tolerably finely punctured, 
pubescent, black, with the suture, lateral margin, base and tip ferruginous; tip

2. E. punctatus, obscure ferrugineus, pubescens, thorace disco nigro-gut- 
tato, parce grosse punctato, elytris grosse punctatis, nigro-piceis, limbo omni 
ferrugineo, antennis nigris, basi apiceque ferrugineis, articulo 3i0 sequentibus 
duobus breviore. Long. :25. 
Georgia. Narrower than the preceding, and with much coarser punctures. 
This is mentioned in Dejean’s Catalogue under the name adopted. There is a 
very slight sinus at the inner margin of the anterior tibie near the middle. 
3. E. discoidalis, obscure ferrugineus, pubescens, thorace parce punc- 
tato, obsolete nigro-guttato, elytris grosse punctatis, nigro-piceis, limbo omni 
ferrugineo, antennis nigris basi apiceque ferrugineis, articulo tertio sequentibus

Texas, Lieut. Haldeman. Resembles the preceding very closely; the third 
joint of the antennz is, however, longer, and the punctuation perceptibly less 
coarse. The anterior tibie of both sexes are slightly mucronate internally at 
the middle. The antenne of the male are more slender than those of the 
female, the thorax is narrower and the posterior angles more acute. 
b. Corpus glabrum; antenne art. ult. truncato; abdom. art. 6to 
plerumque retracto. 
4. E. letus, elongatus, ferrugineus, nitidus, thorace parce punctulato, linea 
transversa basali valde impressa, disco nigro- -notato, antice transversim im- 
presso, elytris subtilius punctatis, nigro-cyaneis, basi apice epipleurisque flavis, 
femoribus clavatis, antennis nigris. “Long. 32: 
Two specimens, San Francisco, Cal., under bark. The body is narrower than 
in the others, the thorax is one third wider than its length, the sides are more 
strongly reflexed; the basal impressions are deep, reaching beyond the middle, 
and are connected by a very deeply impressed line near the. margin; the disc is 
deeply transversely impressed before the middle, and is finely not densely punc- 
tulate ; an indistinct black spot marks the junction of the transverse impres- 
sion with the prolongation of the basal lines. The elytra are shining blackish 
blue, densely and finely punctured, with the base, the epipleure, the bead of the 
lateral margin and the apex, reddish yellow; tip rounded. Beneath bright 
ferruginous, thighs moderately clavate; anterior tibie strongly mucronate 
internally at the middle. Antenne black, third joint nearly as long as the two 
following. 
5. E. lineatus, oblongo-elongatus, obscure ferrugineus, nitidus, thorace 
linea basali transversa, disco piceo-binotato, elytris obsolete punctulatis, sutura 
plagaque laterali oblonga late nigris, femoribus clavatis, tibiis basi antennisque
