Pteronidea pallidinervis Hellén, 1951b: 108–109 .

Diagnosis

Its large size (9–10 mm), short antenna and mostly black body distinguish this species from the others in the E. flavescens group. The lancet is not distinguishable from E. renei and E. serela sp. nov., but these species are smaller (5.5–6.8 mm) and much paler. Male unknown.
