beneath, with close-set minute spines in the distal half, mid- and

posterior margin, apical spines on both margins on all the femora, 
all the genicular spines present. Posterior metatarsus much longer

This species falls into the same group that includes 
E. papua, Sss., EL. levicollis, Sss., #. punceticollis, Wik., £. 
plena, Wlk., ete. Its coloration alone ought to render it 
easy of recognition.
