thorax, and numerous small and narrow transverse white spots on the elytra. This 

 appears to be the form described by Burmeister. 



2. Eather larger and broader. Ochreous, with two broad black vittse on the disc of 

 the thorax, and the elytral costae, and numerous marks in the interstices, black. The 

 antennal club in the male is considerably shorter than joints 1-7.

 Paz (Conradt). 



Thomson's description is taken from an unusually small specimen (12J millim.) ; the 

 numerous series before me (which includes examples named by Salle) range from 

 14 to 18 millim., the smallest being males, brassy -black, with the elytra thickly 

 sprinkled with confluent transverse and undulated fulvous spots. The females much 

 resemble JE. precaria, and the species connects Section IV. with the present group, to 

 which it belongs by the clypeus being in the male narrowly quadrate, with the apical 

 margin strongly reflexed, and more or less deeply sinuated, sometimes almost bidentate, 

 in the female shorter and less reflexed. The upper surface in fresh specimens, especially 

 in the male, is rather densely erect pubescent, the thorax and scutellum shining, and 

 the elytra opaque. The more or less thickly punctured and large scutellum is an excellent 

 distinguishing character. The antennal club is elongated in both sexes, in the male 

 about one fourth longer than joints 1-7 taken together. The thorax, as usual in this 

 group, differs in form in the two sexes, but not in all examples — in the male being 

 gradually narrowed (with a slight sinuation) from the base to the apex, in the female 

 strongly rounded about the middle. The female varies much in colour — the head, 

 thorax, and scutellum being more or less rufous, with a strong metallic gloss, and 

 sometimes metallic green vittse, and the elytra fulvous, with numerous small transverse 

 confluent spots, or, in extreme cases, almost spotless.
