E. carinatus Scudder. 



This is a very pretty species ; the two females in our col- 

 lection are as follows : — General color grayish brown, dorsal 

 field of pronotum with a narrow line of white extending along 

 either side just above the lateral carinas. Between this line and 

 the supplementary carinas is a broad band of velvety brownish 

 black which is extended along the top of the head nearly to the 

 vertex, its outer edge narrowed by the upper border of the eye. 

 The central portion of the top of the pronotum between the sup- 

 plementary carinas and extending to the front of the vertex is 

 grayish brown. Wing covers not reaching the end of the ab- 

 domen ; with an indistinct dark median stripe, below which, ex- 

 tending along the basal half of the wing cover, is a greenish 

 white stripe. Hind femora without markings, reaching to the 

 end of the abdomen. The males are darker, with markings less 

 distinct. The wing covers surpass the end of the abdomen by 

 about 3 mm. and the hind femora reach about half-way between 

 the end of the abdomen and the end of the wing covers.
