Additional material studied: Indonesia: 3 ex., Sumatra, Hindrapoera ; 4 ex., Indrapoera, Cote West de Sumatra (h)/ Clavereau , 901 (h); 1 ex., West Sumatra, Pd., Pariaman , ix.1995 Widgago; 11 ex., W Sumatra, Padang , vi.1995, S. Jakl lgt.; 2 ex., Sumatra, Padang , xii.1994; 6 ex., ibidem, ii.1995; 1 ex., ibidem, iv.1995; 4 ex., ibidem, v.1995; 1 ex., ibidem, vi.1995 ( MKCY, NMPC, ZIN).

Distribution: Borneo (in Indonesia or Malaysia) (type locality of E. marseuli ), Mentawai Archipelago: South Sipora Isl., Sioban (type locality of E. modiglianii ), West Sumatra (Indrapoera, Padang, Pariaman).

Notes: Described from an unstated number of specimens ( Kerremans 1896). A specimen deposited at the BMNH has been selected as a lectotype. Synonymy of E. modiglianii Kerremans, 1896 was established by A. Théry (1932). Examination of types of E. marseuli and E. modiglianii , as well as numerous specimens from Sumatra, showed some minor but rather stable differences in the degree of development of the color pattern of elytra between the beetles from Borneo compared to those from Mentawai and Sumatra. However, clear definition of the status of different populations requires additional material from Borneo Island.
