Hub. Sumatra (C. Curtis). 



This species might at first sight be supposed to be allied 

 to jiE. Icevicollis or jE. Eschscholtzi, but in reality is nearest 

 to 2E. amictus. The head and thorax have the punctuation 

 very fine and uniform. The thorax has the sides at the 

 anterior angles impressed. The punctuation of the elytra is 

 fine, but not so fine as on the thorax ; at the sides the punc- 

 tures are rather stronger and crowded.

Hob. Borneo, Sarawak. 



This species is very near ,J57. glaber, but is distinguished 

 from that and allied species by the sparse punctuation and 

 smooth elytra, these latter being impunctate even in the 

 female, except the two lateral interstices. The large males 

 are remarkable for the size of the head. The largest male 

 has the strong tooth at the base of the mandible angulated 

 anteriorly, with a deep narrow incision in front of it. A rather 

 smaller example has this tooth acuminate, with an emargina- 

 tion on the inner margin of the mandible in front of the 

 tooth, and between this emargination and the apex the man- 

 dible is somewhat dilated.
