Long., 14 1. ; lat., 1 1. (vix). 

 This species (of which I have both sexes) might ahnost pass 

 for a small differently coloured form of E. Iceta, but on careful 

 examination I am convinced that it is really distinct, the pro- 

 thorax having its front margin evidently less produced in the 

 middle, and being quite devoid of the faint carina which runs 

 down the middle in the latter ; the basal ventral segment in the 

 male, moreover, is much less l^evigate.

 Of a paler, more "dead" green colour than E. hella, otherwise 

 closely resembling it in colour, but at once distinguishable by 

 much finer puncturation of the elytra and the much more distinct 

 puncturation of the prothorax. The tooth on the anterior femora 

 is very evidently larger than in E. suaveola, Germ.
