Male
(
Figs 13–18
)
Diagnosis.
Belonging in species group
bonaverensis
(González, García Aldrete, Carrejo & Panche, 2018)
. It is related to
E. huitota
n. sp.
and
E. kakwa
n. sp.
, differing from them by the hypandrium processes: antero-lateral processes narrowing distally, apices directed posteriorly; median posterior projections separated by a deep incision, anteriorly wide, narrowing distally to rounded apices and by presence of posterior endophallic sclerites.
Color
(of parts mounted on slide). Head (
Fig. 15
) pale brown with frontal dark pattern; compounds eyes black, ocelli hyaline, with ochre centripetal crescents; genae dark brown; clypeus brown, with diagonal brown bands converging to the middle; maxillary palps light brown, Mx1 paler than the other palpomeres. Legs pale brown. Forewings (
Fig. 13
) hyaline, veins brown, with brown spots at veins ends; cells cu1 and cu2 with brown areas; pterostigma with proximal and distal brown bands. Hindwings (
Fig. 14
) hyaline, veins brown. Hypandrium dark brown. Epiproct and paraprocts light brown.

. Head: H/MxW: 3.33; H/D: 2.6; IO/MxW: 0.17. Compound eyes mid-sized. Outer cusp of lacinial tips broad, with five denticles. Forewings: L/W: 2.41. Pterostigma wider in the middle, semi-oval: lp/wp: 1.52, areola postica broadly triangular, with rounded apex: al/ah: 1.35. M four branched, M
4
distally forked. Hypandrium (
Fig. 18
), anteriorly slightly protruded in the middle, with border almost straight; antero-lateral processes narrowing distally, apices directed posteriorly; median posterior projections separated by a deep incision, anteriorly wide, narrowing distally to rounded apices, bearing each a macroseta. Phallosome (
Fig. 17
), with side struts V-shaped, external parameres distally broad, rounded, posteriorly with a row of microspicules; anterior endophallic sclerites broad, anteriorly straight, wider in the middle and acuminate posteriorly, mesal sclerites wider anteriorly, bowshaped, distally pointed; posterior sclerites small, broadly triangular, anteriorly and posteriorly acuminate. Paraprocts (
Fig. 16
) triangular, with setal field posteriorly, a large mesal macroseta and two spatulate macrosetae as illustrated. Sensory fields with 22 trichobothria on basal rosettes. Epiproct (
Fig. 16
) anteriorly straight, rounded posteriorly, with three mesal macrosetae near anterior border, other setae as illustrated
