Currently, the main diagnostic characters for the genus are the densely squamose antenna with a relatively short scape ( Heller, 1923 ; Riedel 2009). Based on the structure of the male transfer apparatus (TA) it can be subdivided into the E. schoenherrii -group and the E. loriae -group ( Riedel, 2002 ); the former characterized by its spine-like TA, the latter with a TA compact and lyriform. The new species belongs to the E. loriae -group and is distinguished from all other species of this group by the presence of black longitudinal bands on the elytra that it shares only with E. cuvierii Guérin-Méneville.
