The rostrum is bent and narrowed towards tlie apex ; this 

 will at once differentiate the genus from L^lKi'ha, which has 

 also a short pectoral canal. The three intermediate segments 

 of the abdomen in E. jwrphyrea are slightly curved at the sides ; 

 but in E. (estuans it is difficult to decide either way : when the 

 abdomen is at all convex there must be a corresponding curva- 

 ture ; but this is quite different from the little curved processes • 

 at the sides, which are the peculiarity in question. In this 

 genus there is a broad excavation extending over the whole of 

 the meso- and metasterna and the middle of the first abdominal 

 segment ; a similar excavation is foimd also in Lyhcvha^ but 

 not involving the abdomen. There is a considerable difference 

 in the coloration of individuals of the same species in this and 

 some of the allied genera.
