  This 
  species 
  may 
  be 
  known 
  from 
  E. 
  reticnlatus 
  by 
  

   being 
  smaller, 
  by 
  the 
  thorax 
  and 
  abdomen 
  being 
  devoid 
  

   of 
  black, 
  by 
  the 
  scutellum 
  not 
  being 
  distinctly 
  narrowed 
  

   towards 
  the 
  apex, 
  not 
  longitudinally 
  striated, 
  and 
  more 
  

   distinctly 
  keeled 
  laterally 
  and 
  by 
  the 
  transverse 
  median 
  

   nervure 
  not 
  being 
  united 
  to 
  the 
  transverse 
  basal, 
  but 
  

   received 
  distinctly 
  behind 
  it. 
  The 
  Ceylonese 
  E. 
  ceylonicits 
  

   Cam. 
  comes 
  near 
  to 
  it, 
  but 
  may 
  be 
  known 
  by 
  the 
  median 
  

   segment 
  being 
  only 
  coarsely 
  shagreened, 
  not 
  striated, 
  

   and 
  by 
  there 
  being 
  four 
  horny 
  spots 
  in 
  the 
  fore 
  wings, 
  

   instead 
  of 
  one 
  only 
  as 
  in 
  the 
  present 
  species. 
  

  

  Face 
  closely 
  punctured, 
  the 
  depression 
  below 
  the 
  

   antennae 
  in 
  the 
  middle 
  ending 
  in 
  a 
  shining, 
  blackish 
  

   tubercle 
  ; 
  the
