 lim. cr" 9 . 



Karin Gheba alt. 900-1100 m. 



The posterior ventral segments in the two specimens before 

 me, as frequently happens, are drawn at their bases under the 

 edges of the preceding segments, making it difficult to detect 

 the crenated anterior margins; they are, however visible in one 

 place in one of the specimens.

One example only. Probably of the same subgroup as E. Mou- 

 hoti (Chaud.), but the anterior borders of the ventral segments 

 do not appear to be crenated. The lobes of the mentum are exte- 

 riorly much dilated. The metathoracic epistema are nearly twice as 

 broad as long and their parallel-sided epimera are very distinct.
