Epagrius samson Sharp 1891

Hab.MEXICO, Yucatan (Sallé), Temax in North Yucatan (Gaumer); GUATEMALA, El Tumbador, Volcan de Atitlan (Champion).

Maximus, niger, elongatus, elytris seriatim foveolatis, foveolis squamosis; tibiis plus minusve griseo-squamosis.
 
Long. 17—27 millim.

Rostrum distinctly broader at the tip, deeply and broadly impressed along the middle; lateral impressions deep, rather short; eyes convex, surrounded in greater part by a very deep sulcus. Thorax elongate, nearly straight at the sides behind, rounded and much narrowed in front; the surface minutely punctate, with a few remote larger punctures, and with a more or less interrupted and indistinct groove along the middle. Elytra elongate, marked with series of foveæ or very large punctures, which are smaller on the apical parts, the transverse interstices as distinct as the longitudinal ones; the foveæ are partially filled with small scales, and there is a minute, scanty setosity on the interstices. Posterior tibiæ armed at the apex with a large mucro. Fourteen specimens.
 
This species varies a great deal in size, and considerably in form and sculpture; the base of the elytra is more emarginate in some examples, so that the shoulders are more acuminate and prominent in front.
