"Very near the Sumatran E. dilaticornis, but the elytra in the 

 same sex (female) narrow, with straight sides, except near the 

 apex, where they are very slightly dilated. Body beneath and 

 legs brilliant steel-blue. Thorax and elytra red, the latter black 

 at the apex for about one-sixth the length ; head and antennae 

 strongly depressed, basal margin of the thorax and the scutellum 

 black. Antennae not reaching the middle of the body, joints 3 to 9 

 broad, dilated on their inner sides and serrated ; elytra each with 

 three well-marked longitudinal furrows, the interstices between 

 the 1st and 2nd and 2nd and 3rd convex. Coxae and underside of

Head abruptly narrowed a little behind the eyes, thus forming 

 .-a distinct, neck ; front short, with a median groove extending from 

 the clypeus between the antennal supports ; eyes of moderate 

 size, finely facetted, emarginate, placed at a slight distance 

 from the antennae ; mentigerous process of gula distinct and 

 moderately long. Antennae reach to about the middle of the 

 elytra in the $ , and to the apical third or fourth in the o ; first 

 joint obconical, slightly curved, equal in length to the third ; third 

 and succeeding joints to the eighth or tenth dilated, more or less 

 flattened and triangular in form. Prothorax narrowed from base 

 to apex, but a little rounded in the middle at each side ; bisinuate 

 at the basal margin, with the lateral angles slightly projecting. 

 Elytra widened gradually from the base for about three-fourths 

 of their length, then narrowed to the apex, which is round ; each 

 with four feebly raised longitudinal costse. Legs moderately long ; 

 femora very slightly thickened towards the distal third ; first tarsal 

 joint a little longer than the second in the front and middle tarsi, 

 nearly as long as the second and third in the hind tarsi, claw-joint 

 equal in length to the second and third united. Intercoxale of
