Remarks. Krivokhatsky (1995) described four kinds of spots on the pronotum as in figs 1, 2, 3 and 4. In our examined materials we found two other kinds as in figs 5 and 6. Most of the specimens’ pronotums are of the type shown in fig 4. The pronotum shown in fig 5 is similar to that of E. parvus , but the color is darker than in E. parvus , and only few specimens are like that.

Distribution. China ( Fig 12 ): Beijing, Hebei, Hubei, Guizhou, Sichuan, Neimenggu, Ningxia, Xinjiang, Shanxi, Henan, Shaanxi, Shandong, Gansu, Hunan. Korea; Mongolia; Kazakhstan; Russia.
