lateral foveoJa shallow, but distinct ; frontal costa bi-sulcate above the ocellus, 

 slightly sulcate below. Mediau carina of the prouotum simply a raised line, 

 distinctly severed by the third cross, incision ; lateral carinai sub-distinct, 

 anterior portion rugose on the dorsum, and wrinkled on the sides ; disk of the 

 posterior lobe flat, covered with elongate tubercles, sides granulose ; anterior 

 margin sub-truncate ; apex about a right angle. Elytra and wings extend 

 beyond the abdomen. Antennae slightly passing the thorax. 



Color (dried after immersion in alcohol). — A pale ash-brown, mottled 

 with fuscous. Head and face pale dirty-yellow. Each elytron has a narrow, 

 yellow stripe near the dorsal border, along the angle; brownish at base, 

 fading toward the apex, which is semi-transparent ; marked with groups of 

 fuscous spots, so as to form about three irregular bands. Wings yellow at 

 base ; a broad, blackish band (occupying the third fourth), crossing just beyond 

 the middle, curves inward to the anal angle ; a sharp ray runs up the frontal 

 space to the base ; apex transparent. Posterior femora yellowish, with the 

 base and two obUque bands pale reddish-brown, inferior margin and lower 

 part of the inside orange-yellow ; tibiae pale or orange-yellow (possibly red 

 when living). 



Dimensions. — 5 Length, 1.16 to 1.35 inches; elytra, 1.05 to 1.15 inches; 

 posterior femora, 0.65 inch ; posterior tibiae, 0.55 inch. $ Length about 1 

 inch.

Female. — In form and size much like CE. corallipes. ■ Vertex and foveolae 

 much as in (E. hnldemanii, those of the tip sometimes wanting ; frontal costa 

 the same. Pronotum rugose, tuberculate, but not so rough as in CE. hnlde- 

 manii. Posterior femora rather short, and not so broad as in either of the 

 two species just named. 



Color (dried after immersion in alcohol). — Pale reddish-brown. Elytra 

 brownish at the base, paler and semi-pellucid toward the apex, with dim, 

 brown, cellular spots scattered somewhat equally over it, fading toward the 

 apex ; in some specimens these spots are almost or quite obsolete ; in others 

 they are distinct, somewhat fuscous, and partially run together. Wings pale- 

 red at base (orange-red when living); crossed by a narrow, somewhat broken, 

 cellular, dark band beyond the middle, which curves round the posterior border,
