Closely allied to the species E. tumuli Frogg. and E. 

 apiocephalus SiLv., but differing from the former by the more 

 rounded head and the broader and stouter snout, from the 

 latter by the shape of the head with its sides less tapering 

 to the snout, and by the structure of the antennoe: several 

 soldiers and workers under a sheet of bark on the ground 

 at Mundaring in S. W. Australia.
