Diagnosis.
3.9-4.1 mm long (mean = 4.0 mm; n = 5); 2.5-2.73
x
as long as wide. This species is distinguished by the pronotum appearing subquadrate (type 3) from dorsal view; outer margin of protibiae round, declivital interstriae 1 granulate; declivital posterolateral margin carinate never granulate; and moderately large size.
It can be further separated from the strongly morphologically similar species
E. interjectus
by the declivity steeply sloped; declivital strial punctures deep giving the declivity a rugged appearance; and tubercles mostly absent from the apical 1/2 of interstriae 2.
