intermixed; the head with a sinuous, transverse, rusty-red line on the vertex; the elytra mottled with 
rather coarse, blackish, rufo-fulvous, and whitish scales; the legs and under surface with fulvous and 
ochreous scales, the latter condensed into an annulus on each of the femora; the upper surface also set 
with very short, suberect, light and dark sete. Head rugulosely punctate, the eyes large and well- 
separated; rostrum strongly curved, reaching the front of the metasternum, rugulosely punctured at the 
base, and for the rest very finely punctate, the antenne inserted at the middle, joint 2 of the funiculus 
slightly shorter than 1, the club ovate. Prothorax strongly transverse, rounded at the sides, abruptly 
narrowed and feebly constricted in front; densely punctate and also carinate. Elytra rather short, 
much wider than the prothorax, rapidly narrowing from about the basal third, the humeri obliquely 
truncated in front ; shining, punctate-striate, the interstices rugulose, 3, 5, 7, and 9 very sharply costate. 
Beneath coarsely, closely punctate. Legs rather short, rugosely punctate ; femora sharply unidentate. 
Length 43, breadth 2} millim. ( ?)

One specimen. This insect agrees with E. reticulatus in having the prothorax a 
little narrowed behind and the alternate elytral interstices very sharply costate; but it 
is much smaller, and has the antennal club ovate, the elytral cost uninterrupted, the 
femora unidentate, &c. The reddish scales on the elytra are clustered into small 
fascicles.

We have received fourteen specimens of this insect from within our limits, and I 
have seen others from Cayenne, including one lent by the Stockholm Museum. It is 
a species of rather large size and of oblong-rhomboidal form; the vestiture of the 
dorsal surface is dark brown, the elytra mottled with whitish, and the prothorax 
with a large ochreous spot on the disc behind, the sides of both prothorax and elytra 
being clothed with paler brown or ochreous scales. The head is flattened, rugose, and 
carinate above the eyes, which are large and not very widely separated; the rostrum is _ 
rugosely punctate and carinate, with the apical half more finely punctate in the female ; 
the prothorax is sharply carinate down the middle and irregularly bicarinate towards 
the sides; the alternate elytral interstices are sharply carinate, the ridge on the third 
sinuous, that on the fifth interrupted ; the femora are bidentate. The fifth ventral 
segment of the male is deeply foveate in the middle, the fovea limited posteriorly by a 
semicircular elevation,
