The sculpture of the elytra is much like that of E. parens, but 



the prothorax is much more strongly and less closely punctulate. 



This species also probably resembles E. eranesceiis, Uoh., but the 



latter appears to be a considerably smaller insect still, with the 



clypeus yellow, the head opaque, and the antennae as long as the 



body.

 This species presents several of the distinctive characters at- 

 tributed to Cleptor, but its dentate anterior femora and antennae 

 — quite two-thirds the length of the whole body — forbid its being 

 placed in that genus.
