The description is taken from a male specimen in the Vienna 

 Museum, obtained by Natterer at Ypanema in the Province of Sao 

 Paolo, Brazil, for an opportunity of examining which I have to 

 thank Herr v. Pelzeln and the officers of that institution. If Herr 

 v. Pelzeln's determination of the species (as E. orbitatus) is correct, 

 which I believe to be the case, it is quite distinct from E. striaticollis, 

 with which it has been sometimes considered synonymous. The 

 latter is at once recognizable by its strongly striated throat and 

 front neck. 



The larger size, besides the markings on the face, distinguishes 

 E. orbitatus from the two preceding species.
