Remarks.
This unknown species superficially resembles the large individuals of
E. yunnanensis
by the coloration in females, but can be easily distinguished by its ootheca, the serrations of the ootheca are distinct, formed elongate and straight, apex blunt (
Fig. 38 H, P
), while serrations reduced in
E. yunnanensis
(
Fig. 38 J, R
). The identity of the species needs to be confirmed by examining additional male materials.
