Yppy closely allied to the preceding species {E. apicalis), but with 

 the abdomen above as beneath, viz., black with the lateral and the 

 segmental margins ochraceous ; legs less sanguineous and more 

 fuscous; thorax above wholly tawny-brown speckled with fuscous; 

 base of abdomen ilarrowly sanguineous ; other characters as in 

 E. aincalis. 



Length excl. tegm. 7 ; exp. tegm. 14 to 15| millim.

It is quite possible that this is only a varietal form of E. ajricalis. 

 Walk., but at pi-esent there is no more reason for that conclusion 

 than there is for its specitic distinctness, which at least seems more 

 probable.

The tvpe of this species is not now to be found in the British 

 Museum, or it may have been sunk as a synonym of some other 

 species by Walker himself without published comment. I there- 

 fore, under the circumstances, give his original description : — 



" Testaceous, Vertex transverse, short, slightly ai-ched, with a 

 brown dot on each side; front flat, smooth, transverse, dilated and 

 angular on each side ; face small. Thorax slightly marked with 

 brown. Prothorax slightly convex in front, with a slight middle 

 keel. Mesothorax with three slight keels. Metathorax bright 

 crimson. Legs bright-red ; anterior legs much dilated. Pore 

 wings pale luteous, whitish at the tips, with three spotted green 

 bands ; some black marks on the veins, three black dots near the 

 interior angle, and two black submarginal points. Hind wings 

 snow-white with two black spots in front, the second almost 

 apical. Male. Abdomen with foliaceous apical appendages. 

 Female. Abdomen towards the tip with a mass of snow-white 

 filaments."' ( WeiRer.)
