fifths from the base of the cubital cell; radial cell l)roarlly 

 truncate at the apex. Comb of the fore tarsi shorty inter- 

 mediate and hind tibiae with well-developed spiues. 



Hab. Durban, Natal (F. Miiir). 



The type of the geuus, E. braueri, Kohl, is from Sene- 

 gaml)ia. The colour is very different, but tlie structure does 

 not differ much. In the present species the fifth and sixth 

 dorsal segments are not coarsely punctured, tlie punctures 

 are slightly larger on the lifth than on the fourth ; the sixth 

 is shining, with sparse and moderately large punctures.

? . Clypeus broadly subtruncate at the apex. Eyes 

 strongly divergent towards the clypeus, separated on the 

 vertex by a distance equal to the length of the second joint 

 of the flagellum, which is equal to tiie tliird joint. Basal 

 joint of the fore tarsi with seven rather stout spines. Thorax 

 very finely and closely punctured, median segment a little 

 more s])arsely punctured. Lour basal dorsal segments of 

 the abdomen covered with short silvery pubescence, which is 

 much closer and more shining on a broad band on the apex 

 of each segment. Pygidial area rugosely punctured and 

 clothed with short fulvous setie, narrowly rounded at the 

 a])ex and nearly twice as long as the basal breadtli. Spines 

 of the tibiie and tarsi testaceous brown. Third abscissa of 

 the radius a little longer than the second, but a little shorter 

 than the fiz'st; tliird cubital cell less than half as long 

 as the second on the cubitus; the distance between the 

 lecurrcnt nervures on the cubitus is ab(nit equal to the 

 length of the second abscissa of the radius. The radial 

 nervurc is thickened at the base.
