Redescription. Head. Labrum and clypeus pale yellow. Frons with black or blackish brown in males ( Fig. 8C View Fig ) or pale yellow in females ( Fig. 8D View Fig ). Vertex generally yellow except one black or blackish brown spot near base of antenna in males ( Fig. 8C View Fig ) or one brown stripe in females ( Fig. 8D View Fig ) and rhombus brown spot at posterior margin. Antennae: scape and pedicel dark brown, flagellum brown with 28–36 articles covered with short setae.

Thorax. Prothorax 3.5–5.6 mm long in males, 4.1–6.8 mm long in females, elongate, generally yellow except brown spot at anterior broad section, posterior tubular section wrinkled with about 10 grooves. Mesonotum with prescutum dark brown, scutum dark brown to brown except yellow middle region, scutellum yellow. Metanotum generally brown except yellow middle region.

Legs. Foreleg: coxa yellow or dark yellow, trochanter pale brown, femur to tarsus generally pale brown. Yellow femoral major process at proximal one-third of femur length, yellow posteroventral row of processes present on distal two-thirds of femur length. Mid- and hindlegs: yellow to dark yellow, tarsal claws with four to six apical teeth, arolium present.

Wings. Forewing 13.0–21.0 mm long in males, 15.2– 25.0 mm long in females, elongate, membrane hyaline, venation brown. Pterostigma dark orange. Radius Anterior (RA) and Radius Posterior (RP) veins partly fused at wing apex ( Fig. 8E View Fig ). Media (M) and Radius (R) veins fused along approximately basal one-fifth of wing length and M vein posteriorly retracted to Cubitus Anterior (CuA), forming radial triangle (rt) ( Fig. 8E View Fig ). Anterior radial cells (rarps) subdivid- ed into four to eight cells ( Fig. 8A, E, G–L View Fig ). Hind wing 11.0– 17.6 mm long in males, 13.0– 21.2 mm long in females, elongate, membrane hyaline, venation brown. Pterostigma dark orange. RA and RP veins partly fused at wing apex ( Fig. 8F View Fig ). Anterior radial cells (rarps) subdivided into four to eight cells ( Fig. 8A, F–L View Fig ). Cubitus Posterior (CuP) and First anal vein (A1) partly fused at distal portion ( Fig. 8F View Fig ). Many venational abnormalities (anomalies) are found on both fore- and hind wings ( Fig. 8A, E–L View Fig , indicated small arrows).

Abdomen. Tergite I yellow to dark brown. Anterotergite of tergite II generally dark brown, posterotergite generally orange with one black stripe near posterior margin and yellow at posterior margin. Tergites III and IV generally orange with yellow spot and an inverted triangular black stripe at anterior margin. Tergites V to VIII entirely orange. Sternites I and II entirely yellow. Sternites III to VII yellow with one black transverse stripe at posterior margin.

Male terminalia ( Fig. 9A–F View Fig ). Ectoproct slightly elongate, and covered with long fine setae. Ventromedial lobe directed medially, with short and thick setae. Sternite IX subpentagonal, apex broadly rounded in ventral view, covered with fine setae. Gonostyli X sclerotised, long and thin, spine-like apex, with a pair of small sclerites at base of gonostyli X membrane. Gonocoxites X with obviously forked apex. Median lobe of gonocoxites XI slightly acuminate. Hypandrium internum elongate, triangular in dorsal view.

Female terminalia ( Fig. 9G–I View Fig ). Gonocoxites VIII narrow, elongate, and slightly curved and triangular, setose. Gonapophyses VIII small and slightly protruding, setose. Ectoproct ellipsoid, covered with thin setae. Gonocoxites IX ellipsoid, covered with thin setae. Spermatheca coiled, base of fertilisation canal duct narrow and straight.

Distribution. JAPAN: Honshu, Shikoku, Kyushu; FAR EAST RUSSIA; SOUTH KOREA; P. R. CHINA.

Comments. Yang and Liu (2010) provided illustrations of the male genitalia and female spermatheca of E. harmandi (Yang and Liu 2010: figs 7–9). However, the morphological characteristics of gonocoxites X and XI within the male genitalia differ from the figures presented in this study ( Fig. 9A–G View Fig ). Given that the type locality of this species is Japan, our redescription based on the Japanese specimens of E. harmandi suggests that the Chinese specimens redescribed by Yang and Liu (2010) may represent an undescribed species.
