This insect is very closely allied to E. cinctus, but is more elongate, has a considerably longer club to the antennæ, and the lateral cincture of dark colour on the wingcases is absent. The variety suffused with green is usually, if not always, of the female sex, and differs from the corresponding variety of E. cinctus in having the lateral margins of the elytra pale, the dark colour extending forwards from the apex. The distinctions of the sexes are much the same as in E. cinctus, with the exception that in the female of E. longipes the eyes are larger and less widely separated than they are in the corresponding sex of E. cinctus.
 
Twelve examples have been received. A very mutilated specimen found in Mexico by Truqui may possibly be referable to this species.
