These two insects seem nearly allied to three species of Fabri- 
cius, Æ. suturalis, bicornis, and vespertinus; but at the same time 
they appear to be quite distinct from them. From the first they 
are sufficiently distinguished by having no lateral thoracic tooth 
or spine; from the second in their colour, E. bicornis being en- 
tirely black; and from the third i in the colour of their head and 
antenne. From the different shape of the last joint of their 
.palpi, and from the remarkable pair of impressions on the anal 
segment of the underside of the abdomen, these insects should 
form a distinct family, if not a distinct genus.
