Female. Pale testaceous, fusiform, smooth, shining. Head extending 

 very little beyond the prolhoiax, with a band of four brown dots in front of 

 the vertex and with a brown spot near tlie fore border. Eyes piceous, wide 

 apart. Antennaj slender, very minutely setnlose. Prolhorax much nar- 

 rower iu front, thickly speckled with brown; several lar<rer brown points on 

 each side, where it is semidiaphanous ; fore border hardly truncated; sides 

 slightly rounded, hardly reflexed ; hind border rounded. Abdomen entire 

 at the tip. Cerci moderately long. Legs moderately stoul ; femora with 

 few spines. Wings extending much beyond the abdomen. Fore wings 

 minutely speckled with brown; discoidal area hardly speckled; cosla 

 slightly rounded. Hind wings lurid. Length of the body 9 lines ; of the 

 wings 20 lines. 



The colour and the smaller size sufficiently distinguish it from 

 E. Mexicana ; it differs from E. Burmeisteri in having no black band on 

 the front. The colour is unlike that ol E. crocea, and the prothorax is not 

 punctured as is that of E. ilcydcmann. From E sabulosa it may be dis- 

 tinguished by the more dilated sides t)f the prolhorax and by the pale 

 humeral trunk of the fore wings. It has a likeness to the genus Pan- 

 chlora.
