Diagnosis: E. ninae n. sp. differs from all other species by the pronotum which is distinctly longer than wide and the head which is characterized by a more or less deep, short, longitudinal groove between the eyes which are strongly convex. The phallic tip is spatulate and bent. Length: ( 93 specimens measured) Total length: 9–15 mm . Head: Black, with dense, erect yellow pilosity; with dense punctation and wrinkles; with a more or less deep, short, longitudinal groove between eyes; eyes strongly convex, interocular space about 1.5 to double eye width. Thorax: Pronotal length to width ratio 1.23:1; pronotum dark brown to black, darker around dorsal longitudinal groove; with dense, erect, reddish-yellow pilosity; with more or less dense punctation, sides conspicuously wrinkled, partly dorsally with transverse wrinkles; grooves of sub-basal collar distinct, separated by a wide bar. Scutellum dark brown, with a fine fringe of hairs, with weak punctation. Elytra: Elytral length to width ratio 2.72:1; elytra rust-brown or dark brown, with dense, erect, reddish-yellow pilosity; elytral base as wide as pronotum, broader behind middle; diameter of punctations in basal half as wide as interstices, towards apex slightly decreasing; punctations of tenth stria distinct towards apex; punctations of ninth stria vestigial or with slight punctations near apex; elytral punctation with three nodules; interstices 4 shortly behind base and interstices 6 ridged from the middle. Lower surface: Black, densely covered with white pilosity; procoxal cavities slightly opened to closed posteriorly; posterior part of mesepisternum wrinkled; metaventrite with dense punctation and fine wrinkles. Legs: Black, with dense, white pilosity and dense punctation; finely wrinkled; mesotibiae conspicuously bent. Abdomen: Tegmen ventrally open; phallic tip spatulate and bent; spicular fork fused only at base. Distribution: Mainly at coastal regions in eastern and southern Australia . Seasonal occurrence: Collected from October to June. Etymology: Named after Nina Ableitner , the friend of the junior author.
