slender, the spines of hind and medial tarsi pale ; dorsal segments 

 1-4 with shallow, separated punctures, those of fifth, sixth and base 

 of seventh closer and deeper, the ventrals sparsely punctured ; second 

 ventral at base not at all tuberculate. Length 15-17 mm. 



Chapada (March). Over one hundred specimens. Differs from 

 its allies including E. alhofimhriata Smith, by the color of the thor- 

 acic pubescence. 



Elis plumipes Dr. 



Chapada (November and March). Eight female specimens. I 

 am uncertain whether a large series of male specimens contained in 

 the collection from Chapada (March and October), Corumba (April) 

 and Santarera (November) belong to this species or to E. dorsata.
