Remarks.
Type
material has been studied by
Rafael (1987
,
1988
), who also redescribed and illustrated
E. lindneri
.
Figures 97–113
included here should enable a better identification of this species.
Variations.
When compared with the redescription and figures given in
Rafael (1987
,
1988
), the specimens from Maranhão state do not have a S-shaped membranous area (straight instead) and their apex of left surstylus is narrower than the figure 85 of
Rafael (1988)
. For the time being, these variations are considered as geographical variation.
Distribution.
Brazil
: Maranhão (new record, Cerrado Biome), Mato Grosso, São Paulo;

,
