Comments:
Sakakibara (1996a)
considered
Ennya funkhouseri
as the junior synonym of
E. rufomaculata
but the latter does not belong to the genus
Ennya
(see below).
Ennya funkhouseri
cannot be placed in
Gelastogonia
because the pronotum lacks reticulate carinae and the dorsal process is not foliaceous (
Sakakibara 1996a
).
Ennya funkhouseri
differs from its congeners in having the dorsal process trapezoidal and longer than high with the anterior and posterior vertex rounded. This species is similar to
E. chlorizans
stat. rev.
but the anterior vertex is not acute and not higher than the posterior vertex.
