Very different from E. atrata in the form of the labrum.

 apice sensim Icviter incrassatae. Differs from Hoplocephala in having the clypeus not 

 margined anteriorly ; the antennae are less incrassated, the penultimate joints being 

 scarcely transverse ; I know not how it differs from Phyletes (Meg.), having had no 

 opportunity of examining the latter.
