gradually to pitchy browu, costal area on basal third of corinm 

 dull rusty yellowish, a longitudinal spot between tbe end of the 

 rimula and the vena brachialis black; membrane pitchy brown, 

 apical halves somewhat suffused, a semicircular-shaped spot placed 

 on outer half of membraual suture, shining white, a very suffused 

 dull yellowish spot remote from the margin near the inner hind 

 angle of membrane, the inner basal angle reddish ; a round spot on 

 each trochanter, the last three joints of rostrum, tarsi, posterior 

 and intermediate tibiae as well as inner side of pitchy brown front 

 tibiae, and apex of fourth joint of antennae, rusty red to rusty 

 yellow ; body elongate, broadest just behind the middle of the 

 corium ; pronotum compared with the posterior part of the body 

 short, distinctly broader than long, shoulder breadth 2*3 millim., 

 length 1-7 millim. (measured under the microscope), almost rect- 

 angular, only slightly narrowed in front and even near the front 

 margin comparatively broad, the sides nearly straight, not bayed, 

 and before the middle of tbe ' pronotum proprium ' more strongly 

 rounded ; ' pronotum proprium ' very flatly arched, only very 

 indistinctly bordered behind by a very shallow broad impression ; 

 tegmina not quite reaching the anal end of the dorsum ; ineso- 

 sternum with a rhomboid longitudinal impression, the borders of 

 which are keel-shaped, raised, without tubercles or spiny elevations ; 

 antennae rather slender, third joint a little longer than the fourth ; 

 rostrum slightly extending beyond the posterior coxae ; the strongly 

 thickened anterior femora below (on the inner side of the broad 

 furrow intended to receive the tibia?) with a row of very small 

 spines of nearly uniform height and a larger spine near the end of 

 the femur; posterior tibiae with only short, half-depressed, scarcely 

 perceptible hairs and on upper side distalward with very short 

 spinous bristles ; first joint of posterior tarsi twice as long as 

 remaining joints together." (Breddin.) 



" Length 8-25 millim." 



Hab. Kashmir (fide Breddin). 



Described as allied to the Palaearctic E. fenestratus, Herr.-Sch., 

 but with the pronotum much less narrowed in front, the unarmed 

 middle pectus, the different hairs to posterior tibiae, and the dark 

 coloration of the upper surface.

Head, pronotum, and scutellum dull black ; clavus and corium 

 dull ochraceous, punctured and shaded with piceous, the costal 

 margin narrowly ochraceous, a rather distinct piceous spot near 

 middle of costal area, and a similar, rather more obscure spot on 

 disk near apex of clavus ; membrane pale piceous, the posterior 

 margin and veins greyish-white, forming a looped linear spot near 

 apical margin of corium ; body beneath and femora black ; tibiae,
