discalibus, elytris fascia submediana, intra striam secundam us- 
que ad basin producta, margine postico concave ; anguste velutino 
ut femoribus in parte mediano tibiisque in parte basali plus 
minusve nigricante-tomentosis ; spatio secundo in quinta parte 
basali elevato ac pallidiore, intra linea nigro-velutina determi- 
nata, areum baseo-suturalem, subrotundatam circumcingente, 
linea altera nigro-velutina, transversa, plus minusve interrupta, 
fere suturae medio incipiente et meta-epimera versus currente; 
scutello obscure sanguineo, subbituberculoso, nitido-glabro ; 
abdomine ochraceo-tomentoso, squamulis separatis transverse 
remote seriatis, majoribus..

Mus. Dresden (olim borneonensis Heller in litt.). 
A robust, dorsally isabelline, tomentose species of very dis- 
tinctive appearance, with a broad, blackish crossband near the 
middle of elytra, which is bordered on its posterior margin by 
a fine, velvet black line and produced in front to the scutellum, 
where it is enlarged to a roundish area, encircled by a velvet 
black line which is limited on each side £>y the elevated and 
pale tomentose base of the second interval. Rostrum stout, 
densely and finely punctured; prothorax a little longer than 
broad, sides in the basal half nearly parallel, the apex blackish 
and like the disk bearing two black tufts; elytra much broader 
than prothorax, its base truncate, slighty produced inward, one 
and one-third times longer than broad, hardly perceptibly striate 
on the anterior part, and at the sides more distinctly so, the 
black crossband large, its posterior margin concave, velvet black 
bordered and crossing the middle of the suture, a similar black, 
but often interrupted, velvet line before the anterior margin of 
crossband, this line diverging to posterior margin of the latter, 
which is concave behind; femora more or less nebulous black 
on the middle part, but the tooth always pale tomentose; tibise 
on the basal half blackish and there subsinuate on inner edge. 
In consequence of the velvet black lines, of which those on the 
base of elytra encircle a roundish sutural area, E. horribilis 
recalls Colobocles ornatus Roelofs 41 from Japan, but in the latter 
species the antennal furrow is not visible from above and the 
antennse are inserted nearer to the middle than to the apex of 
rostrum.
