Notes.
Legalov (2007)
recently synonymised
E. hidakai
with
E. gibbicollis
, which are indeed very similar from their descriptions (
Schilsky 1906
,
Liang 1994
). However, the former was described only from females and we have not seen the
types
of the latter to be able to confirm this synonymy. Since we now have found males clearly attributable to
E. hidakai
, we here illustrate the male genitalia of this species (figs. 7A–D).
