Tills species is estal.ilislied on a single female specimen from Tengu- 

 Bar, Southern Alai, Russian Turkestan, preserved in the Petrograd 

 Museum. The above account is compiled from Bedriaga's descrip- 

 tion and figure. 



E. nikolskii is regarded bv its ilescrilier as connecting E. velox with 

 E. muliiocellata, but differing from both by the broader rostral* ; in 

 the narrow separation of the series of femoral pores it is easily 

 distinguished from the latter species. But I cannot help feeling 

 doubtful as to the validitv of the species, wliieh may be founded on 

 an alierrant specimen of E. veJox.
