Diagnosis.
Belonging in species group
marginata
, of
García Aldrete

(2013)
. Differing from
E. marginata
New & Thonton
by having the central sclerite of the hypandrium convex anteriorly, with long setae on the posterior corners, with a median stout posterior process, narrowing distally, apically straight, underlaid by a bifid posterior process, each arm distally curved outwards.
Color
(in 80% ethanol). Compound eyes black, ocelli hyaline, with ochre centripetal crescents, head pattern (
Fig. 39
). Scape and pedicel brown, f1-f3 pale brown. Legs with coxae and trochanters brown, femora pale brown; tibiae proximally dark brown, then pale brown; tarsomere 1 pale brown, tarsomeres 2–3 brown. Forewings veins brown, a wide, marginal pigmented band from R
4+5
to CuP
,
with a small, hyaline area on each side of vein ends, at wing margin, from M
1
to M
4
; Rs and crossvein Rs-M dark brown. Pterostigma peripherally pale brown, with small irregular brown spots (
Fig. 40
). Hindwings with a homogeneous brown band from R
4+5
to A
1
; veins brown (
Fig. 41
).
Morphology.
As in diagnosis, plus the following: Head vertex emarginate; compound eyes without interommatidial setae (
Fig. 39
). Outer cusp of lacinial tip broad, with four denticles (
Fig. 42
). Forewing pterostigma basally narrow, wider in the middle, narrowing posteriorly, areola postica tall, wide, with round apex, slanted posteriorly, M with four primary branches (
Fig. 40
). Hindwing Rs, R
2+3
and R
4+5
straight, M sinuous (
Fig. 41
). Hypandrium of three sclerites, side sclerites wider in the middle, narrowing at the ends and anteriorly with apex rounded, distally acuminate, setae as illustrated (
Fig. 43
). Phallosome (
Fig. 44
) with side struts basally fused, U-shaped, narrowing posteriorly and distally acuminate. External parameres stout, golf club-shaped, with a field of pores on the outer margin. Mesal sclerite wide, strongly sclerotized, anteriorly straight, with two projections on the posterior corners, stout, triangular. Two pairs of endophallic sclerites, an antero-mesal pair, small, strongly sclerotized, with three acuminate processes on inner margin; an antero-lateral pair, elongated, curved, with apex rounded and distal inner margin square. Epiproct (
Fig. 45
) broad, with one concave area on each antero-lateral corner; sides converging to triangular posterior border, three mesal setae near anterior border, setal fields on posterior edge and one macroseta on each side. Paraprocts almost triangular; sensory fields with 33–34 trichobothria on basal rosettes, setae as illustrated (
Fig. 46
).
