Tlie apex of the basal piece of the claws is more sharply pro- 

 duced than in most species with appendiculate claws, but scarcely 

 sufficiently so to entitle the claws to be called truly bifid. The 

 emargination (distinct though slight) of the clypeus witli other 

 characters places this species in my tabulation (Proc. Linn. Soc, 

 N.S.W. 1888, pp. 1328-31) beside E. satelles, Blackb., which, 

 however, is a much smaller insect, with more coarsely punctured 

 elytra, clypeal suture non-carinate, &c. Independently of the 

 slight emargination of the clypeus, this species is much more 

 really allied to //. ricioris, Blackb., and viator, Blackb., from the 

 lormer of which it differs inter alia by its prothorax being 

 scarcely even bisinuate (in victoris the same is distinctly lobed) 

 behind, while it differs from both by its less closely and less 

 strongly punctulate elytra, its evidently wider clypeus, and its 

 strongly carinate clypeal suture.
