Remarks. This species was described from an unspecified number of specimens from “ Cochin State, Ernakulam ” [now Kochi, Ernakulam District, Kerala State] in India, from webs of Cyrtophora cicatrosa . According to the original description, the anterior and posterior lobes of pronotum are of equal length, the (visible) first two segments of rostrum are relatively less incrassate, and tips of hind femora are greyish white, well matching the condition seen in the adult male syntype. Gravely (1921) recorded the species from Berkuda Island, Chilka Lake, Odisha.An adult of E. intrudans was recently imaged in Jharkand (Agarwal 2020b).
