//o7>.— Queensland: Townsville (H. H. D. Griffith). 



Allied to E. pictiis, but prothorax with two disconnected spots 

 (rounded in front and angular behind), each shoulder with a 

 black, isolated patch, and basal half of third, fourth, and fifth 

 joints of antenna? pale. The postmedian fascia on the elytra is 

 slightly longer than the fiavous portion between it and the apex. 

 The long hairs on the antennae do not extend beyond the fifth 

 joint. The abdomen is missing from the type. 



Two specimens of this species in Mr. Griffith's collection ai'e 

 in perfect condition; on each of them the abdomen is of a bright 

 red with a large black spot on the side of each segment, except 

 of the posterior one, which is black throughout, except for a 

 narrow medio-basal portion; the four basal segments have each a 

 conspicuous patch of golden hairs on each side posterior to the 

 black spots. They are probably males.
