Hah. Bolivia and Venezuela. 



This well-marked species was discovered in Bolivia by d'Orbigny. 

 I have also seen specimens from Venezuela, but not as yet from 

 intermediate localities. The female is much like that of E. xwntlio- 

 gastra ; but the front of the head is rufous instead of yellowish, and 

 there is a stronger rufous tinge on the middle of the abdomen.
