 fronte macula parva rufa, labro sparse punctato, brevi, profunde emarginato. Long. -68.

Very different from E. atrata in the form of the labrum.

 dense punctatis, hoc capite non latiore, lateribus rotundatis, basi angustato, elytris

 punctis paucis seriatis, antennis capite thoraceque longioribus, basi rufo-piceis. Long.

 scarcely transverse ; I know not how it differs from Phyletes (Meg.), having had no 

 opportunity of examining the latter.
