This insect is very closely allied to E. pedestris, but is distinguished by the fact that the vague impressions on the thorax are nearly absent, the serial punctures on the elytra are not so large, and that there is less difference between the sexes; the male differing from the female chiefly in being smaller and more slender, with the prothorax a little more conical. In both sexes the rostrum is flat and nearly unimpressed, and there is a small though very distinct fovea between the eyes. About twenty examples.
