 E. austenii, Theo., Mon. Cul. V, p. 572 (1910). 



The original description of E. quinquevittatus was composite, applying to the 

 male of one species and the female of another (vide Ann. Mag. Nat. Hist., July, 

 1911, pp. 67-73). 



The majority of the British Museum specimens of E. quinquevittatus (and 

 E. condei) show no sign of chaetae on the metanotum, and do not appear ever to 

 have possessed them. In one or two individuals, however, they are present, and 

 also in all the other members of the genus.
