 ProtJiorax oblongus, subcylindricus. Elytra parallela, 

 subdepressa; epipleurge distinctse. Femora pedun- 

 culato-clavata, postica elytrorum apicem superantia; 

 tarsi postici articulo basali elongate, Prosternuni

The type of this genus is a pretty little dead-golden- 

 green insect {IE. vtridis) from Pulo-Penang. E. funesta 

 is nearly homogeneous in point of form, but the elytra 

 and posterior femora are both a little shorter. M. 

 Lacordaire refers the type specimen, which he has 

 had for examination, doubtfully to the male sex. I am 

 unable to say anything' certain upon this point in regard 

 to either species, each of which, I believe, is represented 

 by only a single example. 



Epianthe funesta.
