According to the author the species is morphologically close to  E. rubripesin the form of the “pseudopleural [=coxopleural] process” but differs from the latter “in having but two spines above [=dorsal] with these low and blunt, almost abortive. It differs also in lacking a tarsal spine [=spur] on the 20th pair of legs”. All these “differences” fall well within the intraspecific variability of  E. r. rubripes, so this dubious form has not been included in the list of species. According to Bonato et al.(2016)  E. relictusis known also from JavaIsland ( Indonesia) but we were not able to find where this record comes from. 1290989867 [151,453,929,954] India Tamil Nadu 11 258 1 Tamil Nadu 1290989879 [465,1117,929,954] Nepal Annapurna Reservation Area 11 258 1 Assam 1290989883 Malaysia Borneo Island 11 258 1 1290989865 [477,605,996,1021] Iceland Java 11 258 1 Java 1290989864 [615,794,996,1021] Iceland Sulawesi 11 258 1 Sulawesi 1290989868 [991,1213,996,1021] Iceland Raja Ampat Islands 11 258 1 Raja Ampat Islands 1290989877 [1224,1357,997,1020] Iceland West Papua 11 258 1 West Papua 1290989882 [307,776,1029,1054] Papua New Guinea Madang Province 11 258 1 Madang Province 1290989875 [787,1432,1029,1054] Australia River National Park Keep River 11 258 1 Northern Territory 1290989880 [151,1014,1062,1087] Australia Western Australia 11 258 1 Western Australia 1290989884 [151,327,1095,1120] Australia Society Islands 11 258 1 Society Islands 1290989878 [342,514,1095,1120] Australia Tuvalu Islands 11 258 1 Tuvalu Islands 1290989862 Gambia Bijilo Forest 11 258 1
