large, face very weakly convex, ocellar spots represented by minute 

 buffy dots in normal position. Pronotum with polished surface con- 

 vex, this more decided mesad, microscopically punctulate particularly 

 laterad ; cephalic margin transverse but convex ventrad thus embrac- 

 ing the head, the cephalic angles being deflexed but not as suddenly as 

 in E. abdominalis, these being broadly rounded; lateral margins broad- 

 ly convex to caudal angles which are moderately broadly 

 rounded, the lateral and caudal margins forming an angle there of 

 very slightly less than a rectangle; caudal margin transverse but with 

 a very weak and broad convexity indicated on each side. Tegmina 

 represented by small lateral pads extending very slightly beyond the 

 caudal margin of mesonotum; surface polished but microscopically 

 punctulate, flattened with costal margin alone thickened, cingulate; 

 costal margin very weakly convex, sutural margin very weakly con- 

 cave, distad oblique truncate with sutural angle slightly the more pro- 

 duced. 2 Surface of mesonotum, metanotum and dorsal abdominal 

 segments including supra-anal plate as polished and even less punctu- 

 late than pronotum. Caudal margin of mesonotum rect-transverse in 

 mesal third, very slightly produced laterad with latero-caudal angles 

 sharp and sub-rectangulate. Latero-caudal angles of fifth to seventh 

 dorsal abdominal segments produced in increasing ratio caudad with 

 sharp apices, of the form found in abdominalis but more decided, 

 when compared with opaca the latter is seen to have these productions 

 distinctly more slender and more strongly produced. Supra-anal plate 

 produced, decidedly less transverse than in opaca, lateral margins con- 

 cave proximad, distad the plate is briefly bilobate, the weak median 

 emargination thus formed being rectangulate, the distal margin de- 

 cidedly hairy but without serrulations as found in opaca. Subgenital 

 plate strongly transverse, with stout and very elongate and tapering 

 styles placed symmetrically meso-laterad in decided emarginations as 

 is usual in the genus ; median half produced, with distal margin broadly 

 and roundly obtuse angulate emarginate, this weak but distinct. Cepha- 

 lic and median limbs and armament of the same normal for the genus. 

 Caudal femora heavier than usual; caudal tibiae also heavier than usual 

 and very decidedly broadened just proximad of the mesal point, where 

 on both cephalic and caudal faces a distinct oblong concave area is 

 found, this nearer the dorsal than the ventral margin; caudal tarsal 

 joints unusually long for the genus, contained but 1.25 + times in the 

 caudal tibial length. 



2 The tegmina are asymmetrical in the adventive female before us; 

 the dextral is normal, weakly oblique-truncate distad with sutural angle 

 slightly the more produced and more obtuse-angulate, both angles 

 rather sharply rounded ; the sinistral is decidedly oblique-truncate with 

 sutural angle decidedly the more produced and acute angulate but 

 broadly rounded.
