(Figs. 11–12, Map 5)
Diagnosis. This species is easily recognized by the closely spaced double row series of fine elytral punctures. The profemora are dentate in the male, sinuate in the female. The body is fusiform (male) to ovate (female) and both sexes are briefly caudate. The basal two protarsomeres of the male are thickened, dilated, and with spongy-pubescence beneath as in E. goryi . Length: 18–23 mm.
Distribution. South-central Texas, Rio Grande valley as far north as Burleson County. No records are available for Mexico, but it probably occurs in the northern states as the type locality, Laredo, is on the border and many of LeConte’s specimens were collected by him around the Ringold Barracks (now Rio Grande City).
