Diagnosis. The species can be easily distinguished from others by its female genitalia has the signa completely reduced and its male genitalia has three strong specialized setae no longer than half of valva (
Speidel, 1984
).
Material examined. None.
Remarks. Speidel revised the Palaearctic Acentropinae in 1984. In the paper, he firstly reported the genitalia of
E. hamalis
and treated “
Aulacodes ochripicta
” of
Caradja (1927)
from
Sichuan
as the misidentification of
E. hamalis
. The species is characteristic by its three specialized setae shorter than half of the valva. However, we did not find any materials in accord with the character. We doubt that its record from
China
is not right, but keep the current status before more evidence is found.
