PUNJAB : Simla, ix. 98 (Col. Nurse). 



Type in Col. Nurse's collection. 



This species very closely resembles E. albipes, Holing., of which 

 Thomson considers the same author's E. tuberculatus to be the $ , 

 but his description differs from that of Holmgren, who terms the 

 stigma of E. albipes infuscate and of E. tuberculatus stramineous, 

 Avith the head of the latter more constricted posteriorly, while 

 Thomson says the stigma and nervures are pale in both sexes. 

 Unfortunately I have no personal acquaintance with these insects, 

 which are mentioned by no other authors and have hitherto been 

 met with only in Scandinavia, and our references are too scant}' 

 to allow me to synonymise them with any degree of certainty. 



My description has been drawn from the typo specimen.
