Rufo-piceus, pubescence yellowish and scanty but quite easily seen. 

 Eyes more prominent than those of the female E. rufum, the shape 

 a little more fusiform, punctuation of rostrum almost seriate, the inter-

Rufo-piceous, cylindric, minutely pubescent. 



Club narrow, but little broader than 5th joint of funiculus. From the
