Male ( Figs 31–36 ) Diagnosis. Belonging in species group cerata . By the shape of the hypandrium, it is related to E. shuar n. sp. and E. nukak n. sp. It differs from the first one by having posterior endophallic sclerites; it differs from the latter in having the anterior endophallic sclerites very slender. Color (of parts mounted on slide). Head ( Fig. 33 ) pale brown, with brown pattern on frontal area and genae; compounds eyes black; ocelli hyaline, with ochre centripetal crescents; genae dark brown with clear transverse band, clypeus dark brown; maxillary palps pale brown, Mx1 paler than the other palpomeres. Forewings ( Fig. 31 ) 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. 32 ) hyaline, veins brown. Hypandrium brown, anteriorly and laterally darker. Epiproct and paraprocts pale brown. Morphology . Head: H/MxW: 3.49; compound eyes medium-sized, H/D: 3.0; IO/MxW: 0.2. Outer cusp of lacinial tips broad, with six denticles. Forewings: L/W: 2.37. Pterostigma oval: lp/wp: 1.48, areola postica tall, oval, apically rounded: al/ah: 1.48. Hypandrium ( Fig. 36 ), median area broad, setose as illustrated, with a broad concavity posteriorly, posterior processes broad, distally rounded, each bearing a large macroseta apically. Phallosome ( Fig. 35 ), side struts V-shaped, external parameres distally wide, bearing pores; three pairs of endophallic sclerites, anterior pair slender, curved and converging on the longitudinal midline, externally connected to the lateral sclerites, broadly L-shaped; mesal sclerites pointed, widening posteriorly, with an elongate, distally acuminate process on outer corner; posterior sclerites slender, transverse, pointed at both ends. Paraprocts ( Fig. 34 ) ovoid, with a field of setae posteriorly, with several macrosetae as illustrated, two spatulate; sensory fields with 21 trichobothria on basal rosettes. Epiproct semioval, convex posteriorly, with microsetae and setae as illustrated ( Fig. 34 ). Measurements (in microns).
