Soekarauda aud one from Liangagas and obviously represent 

 the same species, but have the markings of the elytra rather 

 more distinct, but not so wide and diffused as in '/. torqvata 

 type. My opinion is Ihat all the spccimens represent one species, 

 but that the type is from some olhcr Eastern locahty and is 

 not an African insect.

Mr. Crotch's opinion that this is confined to Java proves 

 to be incorrect. It is in the Leyden Museum from Sumatra; 

 I have an example from Borneo, also one which puiports to be 

 from „Carohne Ins.'-'- The thorax and elytra are not glabrous, 

 Ihe former is covered with small points, and the latter are also 

 punctured all over with minute, but not serial punctuation. The 

 prosternum is not compressed nor mucronate in front.

Oblong, rather smaller and narrower than E. glabra. which 

 it very much resembles, but from ^^-hich the rather elongated 

 third Joint of the antennae, the prosternum. com])ressed and 

 elevated int(» a bluut mucn» in front aud the distinetly but very 

 liuely puiictate-striate elytra at once distinguish it. 



The head is minutely punctured, the jjoints rather few; 

 tlie eyes are a little more coarsely granulated than those of 

 E. (/labra : the antennae have their third Joint nearly as long 

 ;is the two basal ones united. and sonjewhat eurved, the Iburth
