Material examined. ETHIOPIA: SNNPR, Bench Maji, Sheko Forest (1570 m), 13.IV.2015, R.P.W.H. Felix (1Ƌ, 1♀, RFPC), B. Massa (1♀, BMPC) ; Bench Maji , Dembi Forest (1260 m), 14.IV.2015, R.P.W.H. Felix (2♀, RFPC) ; Bench Maji , Sheko Forest (1340 m), 16.IV.2015, R.P.W.H. Felix (1Ƌ, RFPC) .

Distribution. This species is widespread in West, Central and Southern Africa, and is mentioned for Ethiopia by Jago (1977).

Remarks. We identified all male specimens with strongly widened cercus, with a short, finger-like lower lobe and a relatively long blunt upper lobe as E. anguliflava , following Dirsh (1966). Contrary to Dirsh (1966), the upper lobe is not obtusangular, but acutangular (blunt). The median carina of the pronotum is low.
