 (J$)(1900)'. 



^ . Anterior tarsal joint 1 very short, 2 elonjicftte, pro- 

 lonij;e(l over 3 al)ove, nigro-pcotinatc along the entire outer 

 edf^e and tip; intermediate tibiic simple ; elytra transversely 

 exeavate at the apex, the suture of each elytron bearing 

 before the tip a long, ereet, compressed, apically-ciliate 

 appendage, which is armed with a triangular tooth at the

Hah. Rhodesi.v, Salisbury^ {Mus. Brit., Mus. Durban: 

 S ? ),M\vengwa(//. C.Dollman: 13. xii.1913, l.v. 19U: ? ). 



Thirteen specimens seen, all ? ? but two. The elytral 

 appendages of the S were not described by Gorham, though 

 very similar to those of his E. {Attains) ridens. Tiie anterior 

 tarsi in the same sex are formed as in the similarly-coloured, 

 much larger E. (Mivis) simoni, Ab. The black subajjieal 

 annulus is complete in the ? , and open ])()steriorly or horse- 

 slioe-shapcd in the ^ • 1'lie black basal portion of the head 

 is triangularly produced in front on each side between the 

 eyes.

 clothed with fine pubescence intermixed with longer bristly 

 hairs; testMceous, the basal half of the head, the scuteilnm, 

 and metastevnum black ; the lateral and basal margins of 

 the prothorax and the elyti'a yellowish-white, each elytron 

 with a large, triangular, l)ackwardly-})roduced basal patch 

 and an outwardly-extended triangular patch beyond the 

 middle (the latter not reaching the suture), these markings 

 coalescent down the middle of the disc, and a small tri- 

 angular sutural spot before the tip, black ; the head and 

 prothorax almost smooth, the elytra finely punctulate. 

 Head nearly as wide as the prothorax ; antcnnie rather 

 slender, serrate. Prothoiax transvcr.^e. Elytra somewhat
