smaller posteriorly, and almost absent at base ; clypeus 

 moderately long, notched on each side of base, with punctures 

 as between eyes, but becoming much smaller in front ; labrum 

 short, apex incurved. Antennae long and thin, first joint 

 stout, second about half the length of third, third to sixth thin, 

 the following ones somewhat stouter, but all distinctly longer 

 than wide. Prothorax strongly convex, very little wider than 

 long, sides strongly rounded ; with large and fairly dense 

 punctures, becoming crowded on sides. Scutellum semi- 

 circular, with sparse, minute punctures. Elytra much wider 

 than prothorax ; with dense and fairly large punctures, larger 

 behind shoulders (where a few are transversely confluent) than 

 elsewhere, from about middle more or less seriate in arrange- 

 ment ; apical slope striated towards sides and suture. Flanks 

 of 'pro&ternu'm with fairly numerous and rather large punctures. 

 Fourth segment of abdomen about as long as the second and 

 third combined, fifth with a shallow median fovea. Femora 

 rather stout, edentate ; tibiae rather thin, not longitudinally 

 canaliculate ; basal joint of four front tarsi distinctly inflated. 

 Length, 32-4 mm. 



9 . Differs in having the prothorax slightly more trans- 

 verse, abdomen more strongly convex, fourth segment scarcely 

 longer than third, fifth simple, hind tibiae not quite so wide 

 at apex, and in the tarsi.

 Type, I. 3650. 



The combination of glabrous upper-surface, eyes not 

 notched, tibiae not longitudinally canaliculate and not 

 notched, edentate femora, evenly rounded sides of prothorax, 

 and base of elytra considerably wider than base of prothorax, 

 are sufficient to exclude this species from Edusa, Tomyns, 

 Clej)tor, Geloytera, Edusoides, Agefim/s, and other genera. 

 The clypeus is rather long, and its base on each side is con- 

 siderably encroached upon by an antenna, as on E. nitidus, 

 although not quite as on that species ; the antennae are also 

 considerably longer and thinner, and the fourth abdominal 

 segment of the male is considerably longer ; but as it does not 

 appear desirable to propose a new genus for its reception, and 

 as it appears to be less aberrant in EJiinoholus than in any 

 other, I have referred it to that genus. The apical half of the 

 eleventh joint of antennae is black, but only the tips of the 

 four to six preceding ones. Of the three females before me, 

 one is quite as green as the three males, but the others have 

 the upper-surface almost entirely of a golden-red, with greenish 

 reflections in places.
