Long. 2'3 mm. 



This is more rotund in form tlian cither of the two 

 preceding species, rather more so than J'J. translucidus^ Mots., 

 and nearly as globular as K. bivulneratus, Lea. It is also 

 extremely smooth and glossy both above and beneath, without 

 trace of striation or seriate |)uncturation, the punctures, 

 where traceable, bein^ very fine and scattcicd. The deep 

 distinct punctures visible at the sides of the metasternum in 

 E. parki, and the very large ones at the sides of the first 

 \entral segment of E. phalacroides, are alike absent. The 

 l)rosternum is slightly tumid between the coxae, but not 

 triangular, as in E. pha/acroides. The first ventral segment 

 is almost as long as the succeeding three, and the elytral 

 epiplcuiffi are very wide. The femora are very broad and 

 ilat, the tibiie moderately, and the tarsi rather, slender, the 

 latter with the first joint strongly produced. The antennae arc 

 short, the solid club a little transverse, as in E. phalacr aides, 

 but the joint preceding it only a little broader than the pre- 

 vious one. The basal lobe of the pronotum is rather strong, 

 and the scutcUnm is very small, narrow, and acutely [)ointed.
