(a) Dorsal view; (b) anterior view; (c) lateral view; (d) abdomen; (e) apical sclerite of penis; (f) penis; (g) tegmen inner; (h) paramere; (i) tegmen lateral Remarks. This species is very similar to E. concuongensis Hoàng, 1978 and E. hopeiana Miyatake, 1985 and their potential synonymy needs further investigation. Original illustrations of male genitalia of these species are practically identical. Elytral spots at base are connected in E. concuongensis and E. hopeiana but separated in E. glochinosa and in our specimens ( Figs. 9 a–c).
