Figs.: Traugott-Olsen & Nielsen (1977) (as Biselachista freyi ), Traugott-Olsen (1994), Kaila & Varalda (2004).
Remarks: Parenti & Pizzolato (2015b) suggested that E. occidentalis is probably conspecific with E. juliensis Frey , based on extensive variation on genitalic characters. However, their conclusion was based on a misinterpretation of Kaila & Varalda (2004). DNA barcodes (unpublished) strongly suggest that two clusters of taxa are involved, in accordance with the view of Kaila & Varalda (2004). The suggested but not formalized synonymy of E. juliensis and E. occidentalis by Parenti & Pizzolato (2015b) is not followed here.
