326 Mr. G. J. A now on the 



»h\u\i\\i above and dccoratctl with four spots a little larj^or 

 than those of K. snfxjnttatus^ Gcrst., and not raised above 

 the general surface. The antennie are not very slender, and 

 the club is narrower than in any other known species of the 

 genus. 



Various features, most of them peculiar to the male 

 sex, distinguish this species from all others. The front 

 tibijc in that sex are straight and furnished l)eyond the 

 middle with a blunt hairy tubercle instead of the usual 

 sharp spine. The hind tiljia is produced inwards at its 

 extremity as a triangular plate, semi-translucent and closely 

 fringed at its edges. The terminal ventral segment is 

 broadly cmarginatc and acutely notched, and all the seg- 

 uK-nts bear tul'ts of erect hairs along the middle line, forming 

 together a longitudinal ventral crest. 



In the female the terminal process of the hind tibia is 

 shorter than in the male, and the hairs upon the abdomen 

 arc distributed over the ventral surface and not massed 

 alony; the middle line as in the male.

This is by far the smallest known species of the genus. 

 Tt belongs to the (luadrigidtatiis group, but is more shining 

 and without any pur})lish tinge. The clytral spots are, 

 relatively to tiie size, about as large as in E. (piuilriyuttatns 

 and laiger than in E. calcurutus, but the anterior ones are 

 situated farther forward. The pronotum is rather broader 

 than in tin; former species, rather less so than in the latter, 

 aiul the elytra are much more strongly j)nnctnred than in 

 either. In the rather thickened i'eniora, as in general appear- 

 ance, there is an obvious approximation to Indalnius, but 

 the antennas which are quite those of Einnorphus, will serve 

 to distinguish it.
