joint, and the suture betu'een the third and fourth palpal 

 joints is hardly discernible ; the labella have the same 

 honeycombed structure and the same taste-hairs as in 

 E. harnardi. 



Genitalia much resembling those of E. harnardi^ but those 

 of the male at least showing good specific differences (see 

 figure) ; the female appears to have only one spermatheca, 

 which is feebly chitinized ; E. harnardi and E. capensis each 

 have three spermatheca?, tliose of E. harnardi being feebly 

 and tliose of E. co2Jensis strongly chitinized. It seems very 

 remarkable that such differences should occur within the 

 limits of one genus. The ovipositor resembles that of 

 E. harnardi, the taste-hairs being more numerous than in 

 E. capensis. 



Front tarsi: first joint nearly as long as the three 

 following together ; second and fifth equal in length and

rather longer than the third or fourth. Middle tarsi shorter 

 than the front or hind pair, the first joint barely longer than 

 the next two together ; second, third, and fourth gradually 

 decreasing in size ; fifth as long as the second and third 

 together. Hind tarsi : first joint almost as long as the re- 

 maining four together ; second, third, and fourth gradually 

 decreasing in length, fifth as long as the second. Male claws 

 very similar to those of E. capensis^ but the swollen basal 

 part is not quite so hairy and the bare apical part is rather 

 longer and straighter ; the female claws, on the other hand, 

 are long, thin, and straight, like thoee of E. harnardi, but 

 are perfectly smooth. 



Venation, as far as discernible, like that of E. harnardi. 



As will i)e seen from the above description, the male is 

 readily distinguishable from that of E. harnardi, but the
