Diagnosis.

Male length 15.3–16.8 mm. Deeply punctuated area widely distributed on scutellum. Middle femur with long pubescence and robust anteapical protuberance. Apex of metaxyphus triangular.

Taxonomic notes.

This species shows conspicuous long brown setae and a well-developed anteapical spur on the middle femur. These features are present in another species, E. lucasduquei Barbosa, Ribeiro & Nessimian, 2017 , but the latter has a triangular-shaped spur on the middle femur and a different pattern of scutellar punctures. Also, the middle femur of E. lucasduquei bears shorter setae restricted to the apical half of the segment, and shows a less dense pubescence aspect.
