Rami outline round pyriform, each getting broader until 1/3 from base, abruptly tapering into slender and incurved single tooth after preuncinal tooth; preuncinal tooth long, narrow and sharp, emerging from outer margin of ramus ventrally and projecting towards axis of trophi; another preuncinal tooth present between apical tooth and ventral preuncinal tooth. Fulcrum short, about 2/5 of manubria length. Intramallei short, with round base and tapering ends. Unci stout, single-toothed, about 3/5 of manubria length.

Remarks.
E. incisum
has been reported only from
Austria
,
Germany
and
Russia
before the present study (
De Smet, 1997
). It is similar to
E. martoides
Fott, 1960
except the following differences: (1) Foot of
E. incisum
has a single pseudosegment, while that of
E. martoides
has two pseudosegments, (2) Inner margin of rami is outcurved near posterior 1/
3 in
E. incisum
, while it is otherwise in
E. martoides
, and (3) Gastric glands of
E. incisum
are not fused nor connected with brain, while they are fused dorsally and connected with brain in
E. martoides
(
