 margin. A round black dot in the middle of the anterior milky baud 

 against the claval suture. Genitalia : female segment moderately long, 

 half longer than the penultimate ; posterior margin nearly straight, slightly 

 roundingly produced on the median half 



Described from two female specimens from Biscayne Bay, Fla., 

 collected by Mrs. Annie T. Slosson. This is a beautiful and strikingly 

 distinct species. The milky-white elytra with the distinct brown bands will 

 readily separate it from any other broad-headed species.

 transversely depressed, subangulate, with the margins distinct ; margins 

 subparallel. Face as in E. sirobi, the front slightly more flaring above 

 and with the base angled instead of rounding. Pronotum truncate, or very
