  the 
  basal 
  two-thirds 
  of 
  the 
  scape 
  rufous. 
  Thorax 
  coarsely 
  

   punctured 
  all 
  over; 
  the 
  prothorax 
  rufous, 
  except 
  beneath; 
  

   the 
  scutellum 
  with 
  two 
  closely 
  joined 
  marks 
  ; 
  the 
  post- 
  

   scutellum, 
  the 
  sides 
  of 
  the 
  metanotum, 
  the 
  apex 
  of 
  the 
  

   metapleurae, 
  and 
  a 
  large 
  mark 
  — 
  longer 
  than 
  broad, 
  slightly 
  

   narrowed 
  on 
  the 
  lower 
  side, 
  and 
  with 
  all 
  the 
  sides 
  straight 
  — 
  

   rufous. 
  The 
  median 
  segment 
  has 
  a 
  gradually 
  rounded 
  

   slope, 
  the 
  apical 
  half 
  being 
  straight, 
  oblique 
  ; 
  the 
  whole 
  

   segment

  closely 
  covered 
  with 
  long 
  fuscous 
  hair, 
  and 
  

   towards 
  the 
  apex 
  with 
  a 
  white 
  pubescence; 
  the 
  centre 
  

   at 
  the 
  apex 
  is 
  excavated 
  and 
  projects 
  (as 
  seen 
  from 
  above) 
  

   into 
  triangular 
  projections 
  between 
  the 
  base 
  of 
  the 
  

   abdomen. 
  On 
  the 
  metapleurae 
  the 
  rufous 
  colour 
  does 
  not 
  

   extend 
  on 
  to 
  the 
  lower 
  side 
  at 
  the 
  base. 
  Legs 
  rufous 
  ; 
  

   the 
  coxae 
  and 
  trochanters 
  black 
  ; 
  the 
  apices 
  of 
  the 
  hinder 
  

   tibiae 
  and 
  the 
  tarsi 
  fuscous. 
  Wings 
  violaceous, 
  lighter, 
  

   almost 
  hyaline, 
  at 
  the 
  extreme 
  base. 
  Petiole 
  as 
  long 
  as

  rest 
  of 
  the 
  abdomen 
  ; 
  closely 
  and 
  coarsely 
  punctured

  fuscous

  extreme 
  apex 
  with 
  a 
  narrow, 
  rufous 
  band 
  ;

  the 
  

   third 
  and 
  following 
  segments 
  impunctate 
  ; 
  the

  The 
  only 
  species 
  with 
  which 
  it 
  can 
  be 
  compared 
  is 
  

   the 
  Ceylonese 
  E. 
  humbertiana 
  Sauss., 
  which 
  is, 
  however, 
  

   very 
  different 
  ; 
  e.g., 
  the 
  thorax 
  is 
  nearly 
  as 
  wide 
  as 
  long, 
  

   the 
  clypeus 
  is 
  smooth, 
  and 
  only 
  ferruginous 
  at 
  the 
  apex 
  ; 
  

   there 
  is 
  only 
  " 
  a 
  narrow, 
  twice-interrupted 
  line 
  on 
  the 
  

   margin 
  of 
  the 
  pronotum," 
  the 
  clypeus 
  ends 
  in 
  two 
  blunt 
  

   teeth, 
  &c.
