  E. 
  brevipennis, 
  and 
  most 
  of 
  the 
  specimens 
  

   are 
  paler 
  than 
  the 
  average 
  color 
  in 
  the 
  genus, 
  this 
  being 
  especially 
  

   true 
  of 
  the 
  legs 
  and 
  antennae; 
  the 
  dark 
  annuli 
  therefore 
  unusually 
  

   prominent.

  New

  for 
  brevipennis 
  Dohru 
  not 
  

   of 
  Say. 
  However, 
  Dohrn's 
  brevipennis 
  probably 
  is 
  Say's 
  species 
  and 
  no 
  new 
  

   name 
  was 
  required. 
  The 
  generic 
  name 
  an 
  obvious 
  typographical 
  error.
