This species resembles much E. picta, Schfs., but belongs to 

 another group. The sexual characters are different : in ft the 

 metasternum is broadly concave, and at the top of this concavity 

 is a small oblong tubercle; the 2nd ventral segment bears — not in 

 the middle of the segment as in picta, but on the very edge of 

 the posterior margin — two small brushes compressed and bent 

 forward; the last segment has a small transverse depression.
