 vertex joining the dark complex of the large ocelli, brown ; occiput

 broken far above the middle; legs testaceous, the front pair light, 

 while on the posterior ones only the coxae and femora are browned and

Type. — Location unknown. 



I have not seen a specimen of this species, and can only 

 give a free translation of the original description with such 

 additions as can be gathered from Kriechbaumer's keys. 

 It is apparently closely related to E. texanus, which may 

 prove to be synonymous. 



Distribution. — Brazil ?
