apart; the median longitudinal impresssed line is obsoletely 
indicated, and, near the base, is a very large, nude, transverse, 
fovea; lateral impressions deep, irregular, no transverse 
sulcus. Elytra, across the large, prominent, shoulders, a little 
wider than the prothorax, sides arcuate, nearly parallel; disk 
one-half longer than the prothorax, punctured in rows near the 
suture; sutural lines strong, straight, the basal punctures deep, 
the outer two nearly behind one another; discal lines short, 
obsolete. Abdomen at the base, slightly narrower than the 
elytra, the first three segments increasing in width, impunc- 
tate, strongly margined; first two segments with two distant, 
divergent, basal carine. Legs short and strong, tarsi stronger 
in the distal half, and with a long curved claw.

E. pesitis, Lec. Slender, light brown or darker, elytra 
darker, pubescence short. Length 0.8 mm. 
fHlead small, wider than long; eyes small, convex; tempora 
small, acutely rounded, shorter than the eye; base very slight- 
ly sinuate, not impressed in in the middle, vertex impunctate, 
sides declivous; fovez mutually as distant as either from the 
eye, deep, connected by a parabolic, slightly impressed, very 
narrow sulcus or line; frontal margin convex, feeble; supra- 
antennal tubercles small, angulate, not prominent. Antenne 
two-thirds longer than the head, eighth to tenth joints gradu- 
ally and uniformly wider, sub-equal in length, last joint ovate. 
Prothorax widest just before the middle, as wide as long, 
slightly wider than the head, nearly straight posteriorly, base 
two-thirds and neck one-half as wide as the prothorax; disk 
strongly convex, median sulcus fusiform; one-fourth from the 
base is a transverse, narrow sulcus, angulated in the middle, 
and terminating in two large, lateralfover. A/ytra, across the 
shoulders, distinctly wider than the pronotum, longer than 
wide, sutural line deep, discal line rudimentary. Abdomen
