colour of the derm is tawny-rufous, and this is covered 
by a fine and close tawny pubescence, which is of a silky 
golden-yellow hue in fresh specimens. On the head and 
thorax this pubescence is tomentose, but on the elytra 
and the under-surface of the body, it consists of very 
fine short hairs. There are no long erect bristles, as in 
many other species, but the antennm have the usual 
fringe underneath the basal joints. The narrow black 
lateral margin to the elytra occupies the groove formed 
by the upturned lateral edge. It exists also in E. octo- 
guttata^ but is here rendered more conspicuous by the 
light tawny-reddish hue of the surface.

Distinguished from Ehuria by the more abruptly cla- 
vate form of the anterior femora, and especially by the 
grooved third and fourth joints of the antennas. The 
middle and hind femora are more elongate and slender, 
and always terminated by a single elongate spine. * 
* Lacordaire gives tlie glabrous surface of the body as one of the 
distinguishing characters of Eburodacrys, but E. sexmaculata, E. citreo- 
guttata (Thoms.), E. longipilis and others here described, are clothed 
above with very long hairs. The following fine large species also is thickly 
clothed with long erect hairs,
