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 

 Antoine 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.
