(modified from Belokobylskij et al. 2005)

1. First subdiscal cell widened medially and closed apically almost at level of m-cu vein; hind coxa with small basoventral tubercle; first tergite high (in lateral view); larger, body length 7.0 mm. South Africa................................ ............................................................... E. africanus Belokobylskij, 2005

Transverse diameter of eye 1.4 times as long as temple (dorsal view); second submarginal cell of fore wing 3.4 times as long as its maximum width; vertex almost smooth medially; third tergite almost entirely smooth, very finely coriaceous laterally; scapus 1.25 times as long as its maximum width; body length 2.4 mm. Vietnam.................................... ................................................ E. flavus Belokobylskij & Long, 2005

– Transverse diameter of eye twice as long as temple (dorsal view); second submarginal cell of fore wing 2.6–3.0 times as long as its maximum width; vertex distinctly and densely granulate, partly with dense and fine transverse striation; third tergite always sculpture basally, smooth medioapically............... 7

7. Lateral furrows of second tergite deep, distinctly carinate along interior margin, strongly posteriorly convergent; basal width of middle area 3.1 times its apical width; POL 2.0 times Od and 0.86 times OOL; dorsal hairs of hind tibia long, 0.8–1.36 times as long as apical width of tibia; scutellum finely granulate-coriaceous; body length 3.2 mm. Vietnam................................... ............................................................. E. convergens Belokobylskij, 2005
