broadly, the hinder almost entirely, the hind tibise, except for a 

 band near the base, and tlie hind tarsi, rufous, a mark on the 

 centre of vertex and front, narrowed below the ocelli, then 

 enlarged into a semicircle larger than the upper part, which is 

 united to a large semicircular mark on the middle of the occiput, 

 three broad lines on the mesonotum, united at the scutellar 

 depression, the central line narrower and commencing at the 

 base, the lateral free from the base, an irregular spot on the 

 apical slope of the scutellum, two transverse broad marks on the 

 third to sixth segments and the whole of the seventh, black. 

 Wings clear hyaline, iridescent, stigma and nervures black, 

 areolet oblique, the nervures uniting in frtmt, but not appendi- 

 cuiated, basal nervure straight, oblique, the second roundly 

 curved, especially posterioi'ly; recurrent nervure received shortly 

 beyond the middle; the apical cloud is irregular at the base, 

 filling tlie apex of the third cubital in front. 9. Length, 17; 

 terebru, f) nun. (Elgner Coll.; in March). 



Mesothorax closely, distinctly, finely punctured. Scutellum, 

 except the apical slope, similarly punctured. Abdomen smooth; 

 basal half of third and fourth segments sparsely punctured. Face 

 a little longer than it is wide at the top, punctured throughout 

 but more weakly on the sides. Scutellum distinctly raised from 

 the base to beyond the middle, the slope oblique, straight; the 

 apex has a much steeper slope, it being only slightly oblique; the 

 top is rounded. There is a furrowed depression at the base of 

 the metanotum, which is smooth, except laterally at the base. 

 First abdominal segment fully one-half longer than it is wide at 

 the base. 



Comes, in Prof. Krieger's Tables ( M itteilung, d. Zool. Mus. in 

 Berlin, iv., 303), near to E. gnafhon Krieg., and E. frideus Krieg., 

 from Celebes. The face is longer compared with the width than 

 in Krieger's figure of the head of E. gnathon; and the apex of 

 the scutellum in that species, as figured, has a rounded, not a 

 straight, apical slope. Tlie suture above the clypeus is not so 

 straight, more rounded than it is in Kreiger's figure, the apex 

 being also more titans verse, the clypeus itself being wider,
