90 HEMIPTERA-HETEROPTERA. 
thickly punctate ; basal costal margin yellewish. Membrane obscure hyaline. Upper surface of abdomen 
pale testaceous. Body beneath and legs pale yellowish with a greenish tinge; tarsi testaceous ; 
segmental incisures and a longitudinal series of transverse linear impressions situated near stigmata 
somewhat darker and greener. 
Tong. 15 millim., lat. pronot. ang. 103 millim. 
Hab. Costa Rica (Mus. Berol.; coll. Dist.), Caché, Irazu (Rogers). 
This species, judging from Stal’s description, would seem to be closely allied to 
E. sahlbergii of that author; the different colour of the abdomen above, and the 
relative lengths of the second and third joints of the antenne, are sufficient, however, 
to separate the two forms. 
This species also appears to be confined to Costa Rica, one specimen in my own 
collection, another in the Berlin Museum, and two sent home by Mr. Rogers being the 
only examples I have seen. Mr. Champion has not hitherto met with it in Guatemala ; 
nor have I seen it in any collection from Panama.
