Antenna with central and apical flagellomeres very slender with central and apical segments more than 2 times as long as wide ( Fig. 3 View Fig G–H); number of flagellomeres 53–56; occipital carina only slightly curved before indicated junction with hypostomal carina ( Fig. 6B View Fig ); epicnemial carina between mesopleural angles and sternal part almost straight ( Fig. 12A View Fig ); central sclerite in glabrous area in fore wing usually more circular in shape, largely unpigmented; central and proximal sclerite closer to each other ( Fig. 4C View Fig ). Small species, fore wing length 12–13 mm ....... E. ryrholmi sp. nov.

– Antenna with central and apical flagellomeres at most 1.8 times as long as wide ( Fig. 3 View Fig A–F); occipital carina distinctly curved before indicated junction with hypostomal carina, ( Fig. 6A View Fig ); epicnemial carina between mesopleural angles and sternal part sinuous ( Fig. 12B View Fig ); central sclerite in glabrous area in fore wing more semi-ovoid in shape, often elongate; central and proximal sclerites further apart ( Fig. 4 View Fig A–B, D) ......................................................................................................................... 5

5. Mesosoma usually with extensive dark brown patches; central sclerite in fore wing mostly narrow, at most as long as wide ( Fig. 4A View Fig ); distance between central and proximal sclerites usually distinctly longer than basal side of proximal sclerite; central sclerite mostly entirely pigmented ....................................................................................
