Comments:
Ennya nutans
was considered a synonym of
E. conica
by
Funkhouser (1927
,
1951
). However, this species is significantly different:
E. nutans
has a blunt dorsal process directed forward while the dorsal process of
E. conica
is acute and directed upward.
Ennya nutans
resembles
E. maculicornis
in having an oblique dorsal process, but that process is considerably more slender in
E. maculicornis
than in
E. nutans
.
