margin slightly incrassated. Bands stretching forward indefinitely 

 to ocular bands. Near and between the occipital bands at the level 

 of the hypopharynx, 2 stronger hairs and 2 minute hairs on each 

 side. One short hair base of occipital band. One short hair 

 between ocular spot and posterior incurved end of antennal band. 

 Thorax. Protliorax. One or two locking bristles below occiput. 

 Two hairs at postero-lateral angle. 



Metathorax. Expanded at the sides posteriorly. 

 Posterior margin straight till near postero-lateral 

 angle where it curves back making a hooked corner, 

 across which is a row of 7 long hairs (4 before 

 and 3 behind the angle), one spine (short) anteriorly 

 in front of the row of long hairs. 



On the metasternurn are two long straight 

 chitiuous incrassations. 



Metathorax pointed over abdomen. 

 Abdomen. Band in two spots on segment 1, 

 on others entire. Chaetotaxy as follows (Tergites 

 only detailed) :

The 8th segment not definitely separated from 

 9th by sutures. Eighth tergite with 4 hairs at 

 postero-lateral angle. The 9th tergite triangular 

 FIG. 3. E. TAURUS, with the apex d j stiuctly bilobed. On each lateral 



edge 6 hairs. 



Ninth sternite underlapping greatly its posterior edge slightly 

 concave merely almost straight. On the under surface bearing 

 numerous long hairs, of which about 18 appear at or beyond the 

 edge on each side. 



The arrow-shaped "penis" has a short, thick neck and a 

 triangular head not evenly rounded apically. 



In the 2 the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd joints of the antennae are 

 considerably shorter than in the $ . 



The bands of the hind region of the head differ also. In the 3 

 the occipital bands run indefinitely from the occipital spot towards 

 the eye. In the 2 a narrow band commences at each of the 

 posterior temporal angles. It runs slightdy inwards but at the level 

 of the occipital spot is still almost at the edge. A little farther in 

 the two narrow bands form an extremely broad connection, from the
