E. laticeps n. sp.-Form rather elongate, convex, covered with a whitish or ferruginous-white waterproof indument. Head and beak about as long as wide; surface finely rugulose, with a few widely scattered, minute, erect squamiform setae, especially near the apex; front feebly convex, not at all impressed at the base of the beak; the latter very short, broad, rapidly narrowed toward apex; surface nearly flat, with an elongate median puncture; antennae shining, rufous, slender, sparsely setose, unevenly and partially covered, except the club, with a white scaly indument; outer joints of funicle longer than wide. Prothorax widest at apex, where it is scarcely as wide as the head across eyes, gradually narrowed toward base; sides very feebly arcuate; base and apex truncate; disk one-third wider than long, rather coarsely but not deeply rugulose, with a few widely scattered, minute, erect scales. Elytra elongate-oval; sides nearly straight and parallel, very declivous behind, but not quite perpendicular, together acute at apex; humeri broadly rounded; base transversely truncate; disk convex, one-half wider than the prothorax, nearly one-half longer than wide, not striate, shining, and very minutely and feebly rugulose beneath the crust, and having widely distant rows of very minute, shallow, widely distant punctures, and a few small erect scales, especially toward tip, and on the humeri. Legs and abdomen with minute, sparse, setiform scales. Length 3.8-4.7 mm. Texas (El Paso). This species was taken in abundance by Mr. G. W. Dunn in the locality indicated.
