  E. 
  

   erytJiropoda 
  differs

  the

   being 
  largely

  with 
  red 
  ; 
  and 
  in 
  the

  not 
  

   being 
  distinctly 
  narrowed 
  at 
  the 
  base 
  and 
  in 
  being 
  coarsely 
  

   rugose. 
  The 
  form 
  of 
  the 
  median 
  segment 
  is 
  the 
  same 
  — 
  

   rounded 
  at 
  the 
  base, 
  oblique 
  at 
  the 
  apex 
  — 
  but 
  it 
  differs 
  

   in 
  the 
  middle 
  of 
  the 
  apex, 
  having 
  a 
  deep 
  triangular 
  

   depression. 
  

  

  Antennae 
  black,

  the 
  apex 
  

   curved,

  is 
  a 
  complete

  and 
  a 
  bullet-shaped 
  mark 
  on 
  the 
  

   mesopleurae,
