Colopterus sp. , new record
Material examined. 6 specimens.
Epuraea ? sp.: Waterhouse (1890).
Material examined. + 10 specimens.
Remarks. “A single specimen of a very small species (1¾ millim.) somewhat resembling Epuraea limbata , but a little narrower, with the margins not expanded, light brown, finely pubescent, closely and very finely punctured; each elytron having two fine, widely separated, impressed striae. Abdomen covered by the elytra” ( Waterhouse, 1890). Although we have not seen Waterhouse’s specimen, recently collected specimens belong to Epuraea (Heptoncus) . Therefore, using a conservative approach, we consider them to be the same species.
