Diagnosis
Differs from the only congener
E. sifnium
gen. et sp. nov.
by the apical margin of the promere being concave, the opisthomere not compressed meso-laterad, e.g., the lateral process (
lp
on
Fig. 4
A-D) parallel to the promere, the lateral process (
lp
) much broader and the apical posterior process (
app
) broader and blunter.
Material examined

:
1 ♂
,
2 ♀♀
, Antiparos Island, litière [litter],
22 Dec. 1982

1 ♂
, Sporadhes, Anatoliko Mauri [east Mavri Islet] (Levitha Islands),

Remarks
Male body length
16.9-17.9 mm
; height
1-1.2 mm
; body ring number: 39-41 podous rings + 2-3 apodous rings + telson; number of ocelli: right side: 30-38, left side: 32-38; developmental stadium IX-X with

8-9 rows of ocelli. Female body length

; height
1-1.3 mm
; body ring number: 37-41 podous rings + 3-5 apodous rings + telson; developmental stadium VIII-IX with 7-8 rows of ocelli.
This species was described on the basis of two males and four females and has only been found once since its description,
viz.
, by
Mauriès & Karamaouna (1984)
from Antiparos. The new specimens from east Mavri belong to the collection of Karamaouna, but they are slightly different: the apical posterior process (
app
) of the solenomere is not bifurcated, but undivided and slightly serrated (serration visible in posterior view) (
Fig. 4A
, C-D).
