In this formula I have not given the characters so far as 

 they are identical with those laid down by Lacordaire for his 

 '"'■Mytliodides^'' in which this genus is to be placed, but to 

 the other two genera of which it is strikingly dissimilar in 

 habit, as well as in many points of structure just enumerated. 

 My specimen ajjpears to be a female. It was taken by Capt. 

 Lang, R.E.

The female is a large and proportionally broader insect ; 

 but in both the prothorax is very much narrower than in the 

 other two species : of the two, however, it approaches nearest 

 to E. Kreuslerce.
