Hab. Costa Rica, Irazu (Rogers). 
I have seen but one specimen of this species, which I forwarded for comparison to 
the late Prof. Stal, who replied to me “ #. vinule affinis, sed distincta videtur.” I have 
since, through the kindness of Prof. Lindstrém, been enabled to compare it myself with 
a typical specimen of H. vinula, and find the following differential characters between 
the two:—E. stalit is less elongate in form; the corium is without the “ callo levi pone 
medium ;” and the second joint of the antenne is longer than the third.
