pilose. Mesonotum impunctate, the base covered with 
short pubescence. The furrow at the base of the meta- 
notum deep, black. The sides of the metanotum at the 
base oblique, the middle much more strongly transversely 
striated; the posterior median area in the middle irre- 
gularly longitudinally reticulated ; the teeth are large, 
somewhat triangular. The top of the prothorax is more 
deeply and roundly depressed than usual. Propleurz 
obscurely punctured at the base and apex ; the base of the 
depression obliquely striated, the striz being stronger above, 
where it is black all round. Mesopleurz yellowish, the 
base and apex on the lower side black ; below the tubercles 
is a striated belt. Abdomen smooth; the apex of the 
petiole on the lower side raised and finely transversely 
striated. 
Resembles X. nigrolineata in form and coloration, but 
differs in the flatter scutellum, in the more depressed middle 
of the pronotum, and in the second abdominal segment not 
being striated.

Hab. Khasia. Coll. Rothney. 
This species agrees very closely in coloration with 
E. ferruginea, Cam., but differs in having the scutellum 
not pyramidal. | 
The fifteen or sixteen basal joints of the antenne are 
ferruginous, more yellowish in tint towards the middle; the 
dilated apical joints are black. Head ferruginous, the clypeus 
and orbits with a yellowish tint ; the face and the top of the 
clypeus punctured but not closely ; the central raised part of 
the face is more strongly punctured than the sides. The 
front above is broadly but not deeply furrowed in the centre, 
and is there transversely striated. The apex of the clypeus 
slightly projects in the centre; the projecting iabrum is 
smooth and has the apex fringed with long rufous hair. 
Mandibular teeth black. On the ferruginous thorax the 
following parts are black: the middle of the pronotum and 
of the propleurz, the sides of the mesonotum in front, its 
apex, the scutellar depressions, the base of the median seg- 
ment, the greater part of the posterior median area in the 
ceutre (the black part narrowed above}, the apex of the 
segment all round, the base of the mesopleurs, except at 
the top, a line under the tubercles, the apex at the middle 
coxze, the base of the metapleure, its apex and more nar- 
rowly its lower edge. The scutcllum is roundly convex and
