Syn. Apyrgota Hendel, 1909 View in CoL .

D i a g n o s i s. Usually large, robust species; wing 7–21 (usually 9–19) mm long, largely yellow or grey, usually with apex dark grey or brown; scutellum with 3–6 pairs of scutellar setae, except in E. echinata Korneyev, E. melancholica (Brunetti) , E. vespiformis (Enderlein) , and E. wagae (Bigot) with 2 pairs of setae; fore trochanter of female often with short spiny (or hook-like) setulae. Oviscape uniformly sclerotized, with 2 robust wide ventral hooks anterior of apex and short desclerotized area between them. Male with epandrium moderately elongate in profile, with lateral surstylus often somewhat pointed posteroventrally, densely covered with thick but short setulae; phallus glans with asymmetrical sclerites of acrophallus (conspicuously developed in E. wagae ) (see Korneyev, 2004: fig. 16, 1, 4; 2006 a: fig. 6 View Fig ).
