 cornubus cylindricis subarcualis anlice sub/lexis apice nigris el sub- 

 globosis laiitudine basali plus duplo longioribus ; venlris latera 

 viridia ; pedes leslacei, libiis tarsisque rujis, feinuribus anlerioribus

Grass -green, tesUiceous beneatli. Head mostly pale testaceous, trans- 

 versely striated on each side. Eyes piceous. Rostnim ferruginous. An- 

 tennae red ; second joint as long as the third. Thorax thinly and roughly 

 punctured, mostly pule testaceous in front, transversely striated on each 

 side; horns cylindrical, slightly curved and inclined forward, slightly 

 notched on the hind side, more than twice longer than their breadth at the 

 base, black towards the tips, which are slightly globose. Scutelluni 

 attenuated, acute, punctured like the thorax. Abdomen green on each side 

 beneath ; hind angles of the segments successively more elongated and 

 acute; those of the apical segment not dentate. Legs testaceous ; tibi;B 

 and tarsi red; anterior femora piceous above. Fore wings red, thickly and 

 minutely punctured, with testaceous ramose veins; membrane aeneous- 

 brown. Length of the body 11 lines. 



The character which distinguishes E. antica from E. cervus will also 

 distinguish this species, and it may be distinguished from E. antica by its 

 thoracic horns, which are more slender towards their tips.

Prasina, subtus testacea ; caput pallide testaceum ; antenna rufce ; thorax 

 subtililer punclatus, anlice leslaceus, cornubtis nigris acntis basi

 Eyes pale brown. AntenuEered; second joint as long as the third ; fourth

 except towards their base, twice longer than their breadth at the base. 

 Scutellum attenuated, acute, with some testaceous patches. Pectus and 

 under side of the abdomen with transverse green lines, which are mostly on 

 the sutures. Hind borders of the abdominal segments successively more 

 elongated and acute, those of the apical segment forming spines. Legs 

 luteous. Fore wings more minutely punctured than the thorax; membrane 

 seneous-brown. Length of the body \0\ lines. 



The shorter and more slender horns of the thorax distinguish it from 

 E. longispina, and the apical spines of the abdomen are stouter.
