"Much larger than E. gibbosus, of a dirty brown, glossed, the wide margin of ely- 

 tra flat, the extreme edge somewhat turned up, the sides of the elytra at base are 

 somewhat strait, but the edge soon gradually gets rounded off towards tip. Towards 

 the suture the elytron is raised so as to form a very prominent keel down the back of 

 elytra ; the general surface of the elytra is somewhat pustulose, and there are three 

 slightly elevated longitudinal lines, nearly meeting (but indistinctly) beliiud on the 

 convex part of each elytron. The middle of thorax is more shining than the other 

 parts, and seems to have two impressions on the back on each side of a longitudinal, 

 elevated dorsal line.'' — ii. 464.

" Thorax black with a yellow line above ; head as wide as the thorax, with a blunt- 

 ed projection in front between the antenna;, which are very long and situated in a 

 groove in front of the eyes, and have their basal joint very large. No ocelli visible. 

 Thorax wider than long, somewhat narrower in front than behind. Hemelytra very 

 transparent, longer than the abdomen, lying flat upon one another, the outer margin 

 bent down ; the horizontal portion has many irregular nerves ; there are two longitu- 

 dinal nerves at the angle formed by the bent down outer margin, which extend from 

 base almost to the tip, the spaces betn^een these nerves being of a yellowish colour, the 

 general colour greyish, there are several oblique parallel veins on the bent down mar- 

 gin ; wings very short ; posterior legs very long ; femora much thickened, brown, at 

 the base very pale ; anal appendages very long and hairy. Somewhat allied to the
