Shikoku : Same data as for holotype, except for date 22 Jul 2001 , 5♂ 8♀ ( TYCN ) . Diagnosis. Recognized readily by its scorched brown, elongate-ovoid, medium-sized body ( Figs. 1F , 2A ); dense vestiture on dorsum; large dark spots on pale brown ventral surface of metafemur ( Fig. 2B ); uniformly darkened metatibia; and median protuberance and relatively thick subapical branch of vesica ( Figs. 4A , 19C ), in addition to the characters suggested in above generic diagnosis. Description. Female : Similar to male in overall appearance and surface structure; no significant sexual dimorphism present. Peritreme on metathoracic scent efferent system relatively large ( Fig. 18E ). Metafemur longer than antennal segment II; meta-tarsomere III slightly longer than II; parempodia hair-like; pulvilli weak ( Fig. 18F ). Genitalia ( Figs. 3A, C , 19D–G ): Sclerotized rings oval ( Figs. 3A , 19D ); ovipositor (gonapophysis) I swordlike, slender ( Fig. 3C ); posterior wall as long as wide ( Fig. 19D ), with distinctly spinulate interramal sclerite ( Fig. 19G ). Measurements : See Table 1 . Biology. Unknown; the adults were occasionally attracted to UV light at deciduous broadleaf forests. Collection records suggest E. hirtus has a univoltine life cycle.
