ETYMOLOGY. — Species named after the lamella-shape of pseudepiphallic apical lobes in male genitalia.
DIAGNOSIS. — Species very close to
E. tenebrosus
Desutter-Grandcolas, 1992
by its size, coloration, male FW size and venation, but separated from that species by male genitalia (as in
E. tenebrosus
, except for lamella-shaped dorsal valves), its slightly more narrow FWs (length/width ratio 1.42, n= 3, against 1.53, n = 6, in
E. tenebrosus
), with fewer stridulatory teeth (232 against 259-264, n = 6, mean 262, in
E. tenebrosus
).
DESCRIPTION
In addition to the character of the genus.
General morphology
Size only slightly bigger than
E. tenebrosus
. Fastigium, ocelli and palpi as in
E. tenebrosus
; with lateral ocelli separate by a distance shorter than their own width.
Coloration
General coloration as on
Fig. 26
. Face as in
E. tenebrosus
:
black, with reversed Y-shaped line under median ocellus, a small yellow spot under antennal pit (in an area with many long setae), and a wider yellow area under lower angle of eye; but median yellow line thinner between antennal pits and spot under anterior angle of eye smaller (
Fig. 27A
). Maxillary palpi as in
E. tenebrosus
, but article 5 darker (
Fig. 27A
). Vertex (
Fig. 27B
) as in
E. tenebrosus
, with the most lateral yellow lines (behind the eyes) prolonged as a semi-circular line on the occiput (unnoticed in
E. tenebrosus
description). Pronotum (
Fig. 27B, C
) and legs (
Fig. 26
) as in
E. tenebrosus
.

Male
FWs covering abdomen up to half supra anal plate, as in
E. tenebrosus
. Venation (
Fig. 27D
): harp with 6 – 8 veins, mirror crossed by 4 – 5 concentric veins. Stridulatory file with 232 teeth (n=1). Subgenital plate short, truncated apically. Distal margin of supra anal plate with many long and thick setae (
Fig. 27E
).
Male genitalia (
Fig. 27
F-H)
Pseudepiphallic sclerite, rami, ectophallic apodemes, ectophallic fold (short and bifid) and endophallic apodeme as in
E. tenebrosus
(see Desutter-Grandcolas 1992b, Figs 59-61), but dorsal valves wide and thick, having the shape of nearly vertical lamellas (
Fig. 27H
), with sharp, curved denticles on lower margin (
Fig. 27G
); median lophi (= apical lobes) entirely membranous (
Fig. 27F, G
), convex on outer side, concave with abruptly vertical base on inner side.
Female
Unknown.
