Wessel (ANIC). Diagnosis: It is not easy to separate E. spadicea n. sp. from E. punctata , but E. spadicea n. sp. has the elytra light brown to dark brown, with the apical half reddish-brown; E. punctata is much darker, almost black. Ventrite VI is almost straight, whereas in E. punctata it is emarginate. The phallic tip is more-or-less Z-shaped, with a conspicuous groove. Length: ( 80 specimens measured) Total length: 13–20mm . Head: Dark brown to black, more or less densely vested with fine, whitish-grey, depressed setae; with dense punctation and fine wrinkles; epistomal suture not distinct; interocular space about one to 1.5 one eye width. Thorax: Pronotal length to width ratio 1.08:1; pronotum black, more or less densely vested with fine, whitishgrey, depressed setae; pronotum slightly constricted towards apex; with weak punctation, sides wrinkled; grooves of sub-basal collar distinct, separated by a bar. Scutellum dark brown to black, with isolated pilosity and light punctation. Elytra: Elytral length to width ratio 2.64:1; elytra light brown to dark brown, apical half reddish-brown, with isolated white pilosity; elytral base slightly broader than pronotum or equal, subparallel to slightly broader towards apex; diameter of punctations in basal half as wide as interstices, decreasing conspicuously behind middle; punctations of tenth stria distinct to shortly behind middle; punctations of ninth stria vestigial, sometimes with fine punctation near apex; elytral punctation with three weak nodules; interstices 4 and 6 slightly ridged behind the middle, without microsculpture. Lower surface: Light brown to dark brown, with isolated white pilosity; procoxal cavities opened to closed posteriorly. Legs: Dark brown, with dense, white pilosity, fine punctation and wrinkles; mesotibiae bent. Abdomen: Tegmen ventrally and laterally open; phallic tip with groove; spicular fork fused only basally. Distribution: In the south of West and South Australia , south-east Queensland and Biak (Irian Jaya). Seasonal occurrence: Collected from October to January. Etymology: The specific epithet, spadicea , a Latin adjective refers to the reddish-brown apical half of the elytra.
