slightly recurved at apices, which are black. Abdomen above fuscous. Connexivum with a large yellow

The specimen here figured and described is a little smaller, and has the pronotal 
angles somewhat less produced, than a typical specimen forwarded to me from the 
Stockholm Museum, labelled E. fuscidorsata, Reuter, in litt. I have since learned 
from Dr. Reuter that his description of this species will appear in a forthcoming 
number of the ‘ Entomologist’s Monthly Magazine.’
