BI.ATTARlyE 73" 



The head extends less beyond the piothorax than that of E sabulosa ; 

 the sides of the prolhorax are less rounded than those of JE. subconspersa 

 and of E. alligala, and in ihe colour of the anleunae, in an indistinct 

 lyre-shaped mark on the protliorax, and in the slightly less rounded sides 

 of the latter, it differs from E. adjuncla.

FoBin. Teslacea ; antennce nigrce ; prolhorax antice anguslatus non 

 trutieatus, angulis posticis valde rotundati.i, margine poslico 

 produclo ; pedes sal vatidi ; al<B abdomen paullo superantes ; alee 

 anticcE subnebulosce ; alee posliccB diaphance, venis pallide testaceis. 



Female. Testaceous, fusiform, smooth, shining. Head extending a 

 liltle beyond the prothorax. Eyes testaceous, moderately wide apart. 

 AntennsB black, testaceous at the base. Prolhorax increasing in breadth 

 from ihe front to the humeri, where the sides are much rounded ; fore 

 bolder not truncated ; hiud border prolonged. Abdomen somewhat broader 

 than the thorax; supra-anal lamina bilobed. Cerci moderately long. Legs 

 rather stout; femora with a few stout spines. Wings extending a little 

 beyond the abdomen. Fore wings indistinctly mottled with darker 

 testaceous; humeral trunk prominent; veins very slightly elevated ; costa 

 slightly rounded except towards the tips. Hind wings pellucid ; veins 

 pale testaceous; a testaceous tinge along the costa. Length of the body 

 13 lines; of the wings 30 lines. 



The hind border of the prothorax is less angular than that of E. 

 Mexicana, of E. Burmeisteri and of E. crocea. The colour sufficiently 

 distinguishes it from E. Heydeniana. The first costal vein next the hind- 

 most branch of the scapular vein is forked near its base; so also is the fifth; 

 (he sixth is forked, its anterior branch is forked again, and its hind branch 

 is more ramose. Most of the costal veins of the hind wings are forked. 

 In the broad shape of the prothorax it has most affinity to E adjuncla and 

 to E. subconspersa. It differs from them both in the colour of the anieuuce 

 and in the less diaphanous sides of the prolhorax.
