2 E. Bergrotk : 



femora toward the base ochraceous, l)iit witli some longitudinal 

 rows of subconfluent purplish spots, tibiae al)ove toward the l)ase 

 with an ochraceous streak, tarsi pale reddisli. apex of last joint 

 infuscated; above rather thickly punctate with fuscous or l)lack, 

 the points largely placed in transverse irregularly waved oi- tor- 

 tuous dark ferruginous or brownish lines, head inqjunctate but 

 with the dark stripes punctulate, a niediuui line to pionotuni 

 (narrowed toward base), a small callus at basal angles of scutelluni, 

 apical half of its postfrenal part, and veins and costal margin of 

 corium impunctate, the piceous connexival vitta punctulate, pleurae 

 rather sparingly punctured with fuscous, on posterior half of 

 propleurae with black. Head slightly broader than long and a 

 little shorter than pronotum in the middle, juga at apex somewhat 

 convergent over the clypeus a little before its apex, hist antennal 

 joint about two-thirds the length of the head and passing its ajjex 

 by more than the half, second joint half the lengtli of first, third ih 

 times longer than second, the articulation between the second and 

 third joints distinct, but not admitting of free mobility, rostrum 

 somewhat passing base of abdomen, its second joint a little shorter 

 than third and fourth together. Pronotum with the lateral margins 

 broadly and slightly sinuate, their apical third minutely denti- 

 culated, basal margin slightly sinuate, humeral spines short, 

 directed outwards, their anterior margin forming a straight con- 

 tinuation of the pronotal lateral margins. Scutellum. with the post- 

 frenal part a little longer than broad and parallel in the middle. 

 Hemelytra passing apex of abdomen by almost one-third tlie length 

 of the membrane, corium reaching beyond middle of last connexival 

 segment, its apical margin slightly sinuate behind the middle. 

 Abdomen a little broader than the closed hemelytra, the apical 

 angles of the segments right-angled, moderately prominent, venter 

 irregularly finely striolate and finely remotely punctidate, impunc- 

 tate in the middle, the median furrow rather broad but shallow, 

 reaching apex of fifth segment, the distance between the exterioi- 

 margin of the sublateral ferruginous vittae and the lateral margins 

 of the abdomen occupying one-third of the distance between the 

 spiracles and the abdominal margins, basal lobes of female genital 

 segment somewhat rugose and sparingly granulate. Length (excl. 

 membrane), ? 20 mm. 



Queensland. 



Somewhat related to E. ritf i rent ris, Stal. but with very much 

 shorter second antennal joint, anteriorly denticulated pronotal 

 lateral margins, and different colour-markings.
