Material examined

SAUDI ARABIA: 1 ♀, Shada Al Ala (Al Baha), light trap 2, 27 Jan. 2015, leg. Al Dhafer et al. ( KSMA).

Remarks

This species closely resembles E. bicoloratus in almost all alar indices, the puncto-striate mesopleuron, the punctate metapleuron and the black apex of the metasoma. However, it differs from E. bicoloratus in the following: lower face 1.2 × as long as broad (in E. bicoloratus 1.4 × as long as broad); antennae relatively short, with 47 flagellomeres (in E. bicoloratus with 50–56 flagellomeres); hind wing with 5 distal hamuli on R1 (in E. bicoloratus with 5–7 distal hamuli on R1).

Distribution
