clothed with erect hairs. Venter and sternal pieces highly polished, 

 tinely punctate, transversely grooved, the grooves of the pleura 

 more especially punctate ; stigmatal orifices black ; connexivum 

 green, more coarsely punctate, the angles ot the segments acute ;

Forty-one specimens were collected at different places on the 

 island. At Balthazar, on the windward side, they were taken on 

 April 1, in the swampy forest near the sea-shore, and mainly in 

 the mangrove district ; also April 13, at an altitude of 350 feet, in 

 second-growth timber near the border of a stream on the Lake 

 Autoine estate. 



This species approaches E. meditabunda in the structure of the 

 mesosternal plate, which has the anterior fork long and slender, 

 with the sides acutely triangular, and the posterior fork shorter 

 and more blunt ; but it differs in having the tylus much longer, 

 the sides of the head not turned up, in the evenly reflexed and not 

 knobby border of the pronotum, in the longer and acute scutellum, 

 and in the more contracted and less callous costal margin.

Ten specimens of two varieties of this insect were collected 

 on the Mount Gay estate. They were obtained, April 2, from 

 thickets on swampy ground ; also September 14, at elevations of 

 400-600 feet, on open places on herbage ; and on September 29 they 

 were beaten from herbage on the hillside. One specimen was taken 

 at Chantilly, March 23, in a clearing, on the underside of a log.

 19, on an open place about 250 feet above the sea. Others were 

 taken at Chantilly, Vendome, and particularly on the Mount Gay 

 estate, where they were numerous in September, on herbage.
