In order to preserve these specimens, it was decided not to unglue them, which made sex determination impossible. Wasmann (1900) did not designate a holotype or define the type locality of the species; he only described two specimens that were found in two localities, Teresópolis (Brazil, Rio de Janeiro) and Joinville (Brazil, Santa Catarina), and we did not have access to the other specimen from the type series deposited in Wasmann’s collection to confirm the conspecificity of the syntypes. The syntype deposited in Borgmeier’s collection (MZSP) originally belonged to Wasmann’s collection, as indicated by the label “ Ex. Coll. Wasmann ”, and is the same specimen Borgmeier (1949) mentioned as the “ paratype ” in his review, originating from Joinville (Brazil, Santa Catarina). The exact locality of the other specimen in the type series is unknown. Since Wasmann did not designate a holotype or a type locality, and given our inability to access the other syntype, we here designate the aforementioned specimen as a lectotype, thereby fixing the type locality for Joinville, Santa Catarina Brazil.</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/3304D2BC432C50A8981B531BB61C4774	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

Among the four specimens retained by Borgmeier, two were identified as “ Typus ”, of which the best preserved one is designated here as the lectotype. For two other specimens, the information that they belong to the type series was found only on handwritten identification labels, as “ paratypes ”, and these are consequently regarded here as paralectotypes. Additionally, the type locality described as “ Campinas, Goiás ” by Schwarzmaier, refers to the city of Goiânia, “ Campinas ” being an old name for the city (Zara et al. 2007). The MZSP houses two female specimens identified as E. spectabilis with only paler coloration than the type specimens. In those specimens the enlarged flattened tubercles on tergites III – V are more evident (Fig. 4 C) than in the type specimen (Fig. 4 A), although the tubercles seem to be very similar to what can be observed in the photographs provided by Jenkins Shaw et al. (2023). This character was not used for comparison; instead, the aedeagus would likely be more useful in separating both species, although all studied specimens are females.</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/591AA656284158E88B17213BE6449F27	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

Some terms used in previous descriptions are not directly comparable, and others are re-interpreted based on our morphological studies. In the case of E. longiceps, Wasmann (1900, 1909) described the head as 4 × longer than wide, while later Borgmeier (1949) corrected the proportion to ~ 3 × longer than wide. As the type specimens of E. longiceps were not available for our study and the illustration provided by Wasmann does not match the description, our redescription follows the proportions found by Borgmeier, and the approximate size observed in the illustration of the habitus (Wasmann 1900: taf. II, fig. 15).</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/21893A8A796E50C1BC2D0A1D177B3DD7	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply. See Agosti, D., Egloff, W., 2009.
