in A. hœmorrhous but yet with joints nine and ten strongly trans- 

 verse, the apical joint with its apex obliquely truncate and sinuate, 

 the extrême tip reddish. 



The punctuation of the head and thorax is only visible with the 

 Coddington. That of the elytra similar to, but fîner than that of 

 A. hœmorrhous. Under an ordinary inch and a half focus, the punc- 

 tures in the striae can hardly be seen as distinct, and are faintly 

 crenate ; the internai striae coalesce before the apex. The raesoster- 

 num and scutellum are red, the metasternum punctate, 



The tibiae are augularly widened at their apices, the legs are 

 flnely golden-pubescent. Four examples and one with brown elytra 

 probably not mature.

Three examples of this ora nearly alliedspecies. The punctuation 

 of the thorax is deep and coarse, and the whole insect is rather 

 short, and with a shorter thorax than in typical E. elongata. 

 Nevertheless Sign. L. Fea has sent from Burma what appear to be 

 E. elongata.

This singular species is apparentiy allied to an Australian group 

 of Episcaphulae of which E. opaca Crotch is the type. The whole 

 uppersurface is evenly and densely punctate so closely as to be 

 opaque. The eyes are only moderately granulate; the thorax has 

 acute front angles and its side narrow from the base, and are very 

 finely margined, the hind angles are also acute, but depressed 

 closely fitting the elytra. The base is sinuate not margined, with
