{Separated from any of its allies by the entirely testaceous 

 uniform coloration and by the impunctate head and thorax ; 

 the shape of this insect is less broad and the thorax less 

 transverse than in many other species of this genus, notably 

 E. vanahilis, Har., but the structural characters are the same.
