One female and two males, taken at Muscat, Arabia, by the late Lt.-Col. 
A. S. G. Jaj’akai (British Museum). 
There is only one more known species of this genus, in which the spot on the 
elytra is visible from above ; this is the E. persica Wern., which is easily distin- 
guished from the new species by the form of pronotal angles and by the structure 
of the head, as well as by the far smaller dimensions. 
2. Takachodes aeabicus, n. sp. 
d . Bather small for the genus. Antennae about twice as long as head and 
pronotum together. Head broader than pronotum ; facial clypeus transverse, 
entirely flat, its angles rounded, upper carina feeble and not reaching the sides ; 
occiput with two fm-rows nearest to the eyes rather well developed, while the 
two intermediate ones are scarcely perceptible. Pronotum about twice as long 
as it is broad in its widest part which is before its middle, but distinctly 
behind the transverse sulcus ; sides of pronotum parallel, with a feeble excava- 
tion before the dilated part and slightly convergent behind it ; marginal expan- 
sion narrow in prozona and rather broad in metazona, narrowing gradually 
towards the base of pronotum ; transverse sulcus placed near the base of the 
apical third, its middle part is very feebly developed, while the lateral parts are 
deeply impressed and strongly curved forwards, with extreme ends almost 
parallel to pronotal margins ; metazona with an oval gibbosity in its fore part ; 
middle sulcus scarcelj’ perceptible, very shallow near the apex and base of pro- 
zona, as well as on the fore part of metazona, being entirely undeveloped on the 
whole basal half of the latter. Elytra longer than the abdomen, subparallel, 
with apex lanceolate. Wings distinctly shorter than el 3 d;ra, with apical 
lobe markedly separated from the rest by an emargination. 
General coloration pale greyish. Facial clypeus with a transverse band, 
upper and lower margins black. Inner side of fore legs rufous, without any 
black marks. Prosternum with a black transverse band near its base and 
brownish near the base of fore legs. Elytra entirely hyalinous, veins greyish, 
with only a few small brownish stripes along veins. Wings hyalinous, with 
cells of the hind part very feebly infumated.
