Distribution. China (Guangxi, Guizhou, Henan, Hunan, Taiwan, Yunnan), Japan, Korea, Russia.

Diagnosis. Wing expanse 8.5–10.5 mm. This species is superficially similar to E. quinaspinalis , sp. n., but can be distinguished by the termen without a dark spot at the apex on the forewing ( Fig. 1 f); the male genitalia with the aedeagus having one curved cornutus at the middle, the socius weakly sclerotized, and the sacculus without prominence ( Fig. 3 c); and the female genitalia with the spines of the corpus bursae not forming a radiating arc at the anterior portion in the female genitalia ( Fig. 4 e). In the latter species the termen has a dark spot at the apex on the forewing (1a); the aedeagus has a straight subbasal cornutus and five strong cornuti in the distal 1/3, the socius is well sclerotized, and the sacculus has distinct ventro-distal prominence ( Fig. 2 a); and the anterior portion of the corpus bursae has spines forming an arc at the anterior edge ( Fig. 4 a).
