Diagnosis
Antenna brownish-black; eyes coalescent at one point; ocellar triangle almost equilateral; occiput narrow, less bulging; scutum without pollinose vittae, with short whitish pile; legs predominantly black; mesotrochanter slightly pollinose with pile ventrally; abdomen mostly reddish-brown. This species is closely related to E. mesasiaticus and E. richteri except for the following characters: basoflagellomere brownish-black (orange in E. mesasiaticus and E. richteri ); scutum shiny black without pollinose vittae (with median longitudinal pollinose vittae in E. mesasiaticus ); legs predominantly black except for brownish-orange apex of femora, basal orange narrow margin of tibiae and orange tarsomeres ventrally (basal ⅓–½ of tibiae in E. mesasiaticus and basal ¼–⅓ of tibiae in E. richteri orange; tarsi in E. mesasiaticus and E. richteri mostly orange).
Etymology
The specific epithet ‘ atricolorus ’ [Latin] is derived from ‘atricoloris’ (black coloured), in reference to the deep black coloured thorax and legs.
