94 p. CAMERON, ON SOME NEW GENERA AND SPECIES OF 



lated ; these is a strongly transversely striated space at the 

 apex of the middle lobe of mesonotum. There is a crenulated 

 border at the apex of the basal transverse keel on the meta- 

 notuni ; the furrow bordering the sides of the metanotum is 

 also crenulated ; these is a keel, interrupted in the middle, on 

 the apex of the metanotum. The temples are better developed 

 than they are in the type (E. lutea Cam.). The transverse 

 median nervure in the hind wings is broken slightly above 

 the middle. 



This makes the 2"'^ species of this peculiar genus which 

 possesses all the characteristics of the Cryptinœ except that 

 the spiracles on l^t abdominal segment are placed shortly 

 behind the middle. The form of the abdominal petiole is as 

 in the Cryptinœ, i. e. roundly curved ; the spiracles on it are 

 not plnced so near the base as they are in Panisais, but cer- 

 tainly nearer the base, or at least the middle, than they are 

 in the Cryptinu'. As in Anomalon the petiolar spiracles are 

 placed close to the apex as in the Cryptinœ, their position on 

 the 1st abdominal segment does not afford an absolute dis- 

 tinction between the Cryptinœ and the OpJiioninœ.
