Diagnosis ( Fig. 9 ): Wingspan ca. 12 mm (specimen incompletely spread); head brush light yellow, between antennae darker yellow; antennae pale creamy; labial palpi short, straight, with grey-brown scales; thorax and tegulae dark brown, edge to abdomen clay-coloured, with same colouration as the forewings; forewings without any pattern, the first third of costal edge dark brown; hindwings dark grey. Male genitalia ( Fig. 40 ): Uncus divided into two lobes, the outer edge strongly sclerotised, apically narrower with bent tip; vinculum broad, ventrally narrower; valvae with bifurcate apodemes, first half nearly square, costal edge curved, ending in a thin finger-like process, ventral edge more or less straight, apically clearly longer than the finger-like costal process; phallus basally broad, fused with vinculum, apically narrower, with strongly sclerotised edges, apex truncated. Female genitalia : Unknown. Remarks : Superficially not distinguishable from the other members of the genus. In male genitalia similar to E. effulgens , but the valvae with curved costal edge and without hook are clearly characteristic for this species.
