disk, except on a narrow area anteriorly back of the eyes; median 

 carina present and equally prominent, cut back of the anterior two- 

 thirds by the last sulcus; posterior border sinuose, broadly emarginate, 

 anterior border subtruncate; lower lateral edges also sinuose, the 

 hind angle broadly rounded. Tegmina small, lateral, very narrow 

 at base, the anal edge straight and longitudinally veined; costal edge 

 rather strongly lobate, without veins, but deeply punctured, the apex 

 rounded. Pleura strongly punctured. Auditory apparatus incon- 

 spicuous, entirely covered by the apical half of the tegmina. Abdo- 

 men strongly carinated above throughout, as is also the metathorax. 

 Hind femora robust, the upper and lower edges punctured-, the disk 

 glabrous, carinae smooth, not at all serrate. Hind tibiae six- to seven- 

 spined externally. The strongly transverse prosternal protuberance 

 faintly, or not at all, notched at middle. 



General color of occiput, sides of head back of eyes, the pronotum, 

 except narrowly at lower edges, dorsum of meso- and meta-thorax. 

 pleura for most part, and abdomen basally, dark brown to black. 

 Most of front, cheeks below the eyes, lower edges of sides of the pro- 

 notum, two patches on pleura in advance of the insertion of the middle 

 and hind legs, and lower side of insect, flavous. Sides and apical 

 portion of abdomen, anterior and middle legs, upper and lower edges 

 of hind femora, largely testaceous. Immediate base and several 

 patches beyond internally of latter and the upper half of external 

 disk varied with black or fuscous, the lower half of disk tinged with 

 gray. Hind tibiae dull vinaceous red. Anterior and middle tibiae 

 and tarsi, and sometimes the femora, fasciate and maculate with black. 

 Antennae infuscated. 



Length of body, 9 , 14 mm., of pronotum, 3.65 mm., of tegmina, 

 2.8 mm., of hind femora, 9 mm. 



Habitat. — Chapada, near Cuyaba, Matto Grosso, Brazil, May to 

 November (H. H. Smith). Type in the Carnegie Museum. 



Several specimens are at hand in addition to the type. Two of 

 these latter were collected during April and differ from the other in 

 being of a much paler color dorsally and in having more fuscous on 

 the hind femora. They do not, however, differ sufficiently to warrant 

 describing them as distinct.

 Smaller and more robust than E. fusiformis. The head fully as 

 broad as the anterior edge of the pronotum; front less oblique than
