9. The two carinse at the apex of the second ahdominal segment 

 are much stronger than the five or six near the base; the third 

 segment lias a few very fine and obscure short transverse stri;e 

 near the base. The apical portion of the first segment is depressed 

 and the margin raised so as to form a carina. The median seg- 

 ment is short and truncate. Otherwise Westwood's description 

 is sufficient.

I have not seen Guerin's type, but I think I am correct in my 

 identification, which agrees with Westwood's specimens marked 

 hieniorrhoidalis.

^. Clj^peus elevated in the centre, narrowly subtruncate 

 anteriorly, coarsely longitudinally rugose, pointed at the base. 

 An interantennal carina broadly rounded at the apex, and a 

 transverse frontal carina, not reaching the eyes, connecting the 

 extremities of the antennal carina, the space enclosed longi- 

 tudinally striated; the remainder of the head finely and densely 

 punctured, more sparsely on the occiput. Prothorax transversely 

 striated, broadly and very slightly emarginate anteriorly, the 

 anterior margin slightly raised, strongly produced at the lateral 

 angles. Mesothorax coarsely rugose, scutellum very coarsely 

 punctured; median se,2;ment short, vertically truncate posteriorly, 

 finely and densely punctured. Abdomen shining, densely and 

 shallowl}' punctured; epipygium rugulose, very broadly rounded 

 at the apex. The abdominal segments constricted near the base; 

 beneath ver}' finely and densely punctured at the base, coarsely 

 and more sparsely at the apex, the first segment with a blunt 

 tubercle in the middle. Black, the two apical segments bright 

 ferruginous-red. Wings fuscous with brilliant purple-blue reflec- 

 tions, lighter at the apex. Length 17 mm. 



Hah. — Queensland. 



Type in Oxford University Museum, ex Coll. Saunders. 



Very near E. hcemorrhoidalis Guer., but the prothorax is 

 transversely striated, and the whole sculpture finer.
