tarsi) being clear testaceous, and the elytra much more con- 

 spicuously striped with pale grey — and in the hind tibi?e of the 

 male being straight. I have seen eight specimens of this species 

 (of both sexes), and two males of the former, and the differences 

 seem quite constant. I do not tliink that they can be regarded 

 otherwise than as two (?ood species. Dr. Chapuis' arrangement 

 of Ednsa would place them in distinct sub-genera. 



I have before me two female examples scarcely differing from 

 this species except in being of a bright rosy colour with legs 

 entirely testaceous and having the basal part of the elytra more 

 distinctly rugulose. In the absence of the male, I am at a loss 

 to determine whether they represent a distinct species.

This species bears much resemblance to E. suaveola, Germ., 



from which, however, it may be at once distinguished by the 



much larger tooth of the anterior femora.
