This genus is difficult to place in Laco —- aires arrangement. 
Its rostral scrobes are much like indus of E. dersoplagiatus, being 
of oblong form and running hindward obliquely on the under 
surface of the head, but scarcely long and deep enough to be 
called’ unreservedly ‘‘ suleiform.” It is difficult to say whether 
Lacordaire would have placed it in the tes having the base of 
the rostrum narrower than the head, the rostrum being scarcely 
(but nevertheless a little) narrower a little . in iMd of the base 
than the head between the eyes. To me it appears that it ought 
not to said far from Tropideres, hole a striet application of 
Lacordaire’s tabulation - characters would place it in e
