  Remarks. 
  — 
  This 
  species 
  is 
  closely 
  related 
  to 
  E. 
  parallelina 
  (Bezzi), 
  

   from 
  Fiji, 
  which 
  differs 
  from 
  hoharti 
  in 
  having 
  the 
  antennae 
  wholly 
  

   yeUow 
  and 
  the 
  front 
  and 
  vertex 
  narrower 
  (vertex 
  0.32 
  head 
  width 
  in 
  

   my 
  specimen 
  ; 
  Bezzi 
  describes 
  the 
  vertex 
  as 
  narrower 
  than 
  an 
  eye) 
  ; 
  

   the 
  eyes 
  are 
  consequently 
  relatively 
  more 
  conspicuous 
  from 
  the 
  an- 
  

   terior 
  aspect 
  and 
  more 
  tapering 
  outwardly.
