 Vet.-Ak. Fork. 1872, no. 7, p. 00 ; id. En. Hem. iv, p. 164 (1874) ; 

 Horv. Rev. d'Ent. ii, p. 1 (1883). 



Type, E. erraticus, Fabr., a Palaearctic species. 



Distribution. Nearctic and Palsearctic Regions ; apparently in 

 this fauna confined to N.W. India. 



This genus is allied to Scolopostethus (vol. ii, p. 92) from which 

 (using StaTs differential diagnosis) it is separated by having the 

 first joint of the antenna? by more than half its length passing the 

 apex of the head ; head long, more acute, the space between the 

 eyes and antennae being subequal to the length of the eyes.
