Remarks
These specimens are extremely similar to Elysthemus enghoffi , with one notable exception: the paranota are shining white, completely devoid of the dark layer which is so characteristic of E. enghoffi , and on the central part of the metazonae, there is only a faint brownish colouration. In the absence of males, the significance of this difference remains unclear.
