nigi’icantibus ; capite crebre fortiter, prothorace duplo (crebre 
subtilius et latera versus crassissime sparsius), punetulatis ; elytris 
vix striatis, striis seriatim punetulatis, interstitiis subtilius sat 
crebre punetulatis ; subtus crebre fortius (metasterno subtiliter) 
punctulata ; segmentis ventralibus pubescentibus.

The feiTuginous tone of the antennae, legs, and metasternum is 
considerably darker than that of the under surface in general. 
The red fasciae on the elytra are as follows : one near the base 
wavy and about as wide as a sixth of the length of the elytra, 
emitting from the middle of its front margin a projection which 
almost touches the base ; a second considerably behind the middle, 
narrower than the anterior one and gently curved forward a 
third close to the apex equal in width to the second ; these fasciae 
all touch the lateral margins and nearly reach the suture. The 
])i’othorax is sti’ongly transverse and is evidently narrowed 
anteriorly. The prosternum has its process margined and 
triangularly emarginate at the apex. The greatest width of 
the insect is near the front of the elytra whence it is much nar- 
rowed hind ward. 
Allied to E. rudepunctata, Crotch, but differing inter alia in the 
coarse punctures of the prothorax being quite confined to the sides, 
in the prothorax having a large quadrate dark spot at the base, in 
the very different shape of the elytral fasciae, and in the very 
evident rather close puncturation of the elytral interstices.

Among some specimens forwarded to me from the N. Territory 
of 8. Australia by Dr. Bovill I find an example that evidently 
pertains to this species, hitherto not noticed as Australian ; it is 
known as inhabiting India, China, and Java. Several of its 
congeners, though omitted in Mr. Masters’ Catalogue, are 
mentioned by ISlulsant as occurring in Australia.
