The species on which this genus is founded resembles a mode- 

 rately slender Lema. It is distinguished from allied genera by 

 the combination of characters furnished by the tumid-quadrate 

 hind part of the head, entire eyes, antennae inserted away from 

 the eyes on an elevation in the middle of the forehead formed 

 by the antenniferous tubercles, which are separated only by an 

 impressed line, and the rather short legs.

 from E,. Suifun, E. Siberia. 



The Japanese examples differ from Blessig's description in 

 having the abdomen constantly yellow instead of black. As they 

 agree in all other points, I cannot but conclude this to be a slight 

 local variation.
