cariiiate, obliquely broad, their apices strongly recurved and acute, 

 posterior pronotal process slender, curved at base, strongly tri- 

 cariiiate, remote from tegmina, its apex subacute and passing the 

 posterior angle of the inner tegminal margin ; tegmina wrinkled, 

 the venation ocliraceous, the basal area darker and punctate.

The salient structural character in this species is found in the 

 position of the posterior pronotal process which is remote from 

 the tegmina, but curved at the base as in Leptocentrus and not 

 straight as in Nilautama.

 appear more upwardly recurved, posterior pronotal process strongly 

 tricarinate, somewhat attenuate, its apex ])assing the posterior 

 angle of the inner tegminal margin.

In colour and markings allied to E. malleus., Walk. (vol. iv, 

 p. 37, fig. 29), but differing strongly from that species by the 

 -shape of the lateral pronotal processes.
