pubescence lung, cUiyisb ocluaceous, mixed witli grey, more cliiyisL grey bilow ; a 

 spot near base of tibiae and another at apex brown. 



Rostrnm impressed at base in middle. Frons more than twice as wide as the 

 eye is high in i'rontal aspect. False meutum short, distinctly sej)arate from gula 

 by a transverse depression, sinus shallow, lobes ronuded at apex ; bnccal fissure 

 broad. Antenual segment 9 not longer than apiually broad, 11 ovate, not longer 

 than 9. Pronotum transversely convex in middle, depressed in front and behind, 

 with two slight imjiressions before carina, the latter more distinctly angulate in 

 middle than is generally the case in tliis genus ; lateral angle of carina 9t) ; lateral 

 carina reaching to apical third ; black spots small, irregular, a central one tlie most 

 conspicuous. Scutellum punctiforra, glabrous. Elytra similar in shape to those 

 of 7s'. lunatiis (ISUl) Fabr., basal margin of each more strongly rounded ; alternate 

 interspace faintly raised, tesselated with brown-black and grey. Pygidinm one- 

 third broader than long, snbtrnncate in S. Mesosternal process subvertical, 

 declivous at apex, which is snbtrnncate. Tarsi slender, first segment nearly half 

 the length of the tibia.

cJ. In shape similar to E. moUtor and calcaratus. Black ; funicnins of 

 antenna and claw-segments brown ; end-segment of antenna luteous. Ujiperside, 

 sides of abdomen and tibiae (base and apex excepted) brown, clothed with ochreons 

 tawny pubescence mixed with grey ; a mesial line on pronotum and an abbreviated 

 lateral line extending from basal angle of carina forwards, a sutural area on 

 elytra limited by the third interspace, reaching near the apical declivity, and 

 some ill-defined dots on head white ; alternate interspaces of elytrnm chequered 

 with brown ; apex of tibiae, and first and second tarsal segments black. 



Rostrum with a mesial groove at base extending on to frons ; this only 

 half as wide again as the eye is high in frontal view. Third antennal segment 

 little longer than fourth, eighth globular, ninth one-third longer than broad, 

 eleventh elongate-elliptical, more than twice as long as broad. Pronotum deej)ly 

 depressed mesially from near apex to carina, strongly elevate at the sides of the 

 depression before middle ; basal carina rather distinctly angulate in middle ; 

 lateral angle less than 90' ; lateral carina extending beyond middle. Scutellum 

 a little broader than long, small. Elytra elongate, depressed at suture as far as 

 third interspace ; this somewhat elevate, with a black tubercle near base and a 

 slightly elevate brown dash in middle, besides some spots farther back, the 

 brown tesselations of interspaces 5, 7 and 9 also feebly raised. Mesosternal 

 process first vertical, then almost horizontal, the apical portion being nearly in a 

 plane with the metasternum, sides of vertical portion faintly elevate. Abdomen 

 of (J hardly depressed.
