Bionomics.

Unknown.

Differential diagnosis.

This species resembles E. laqueatus , E. pseudantennatus , and E. vestigator in the shapes of the sclerites, but can easily be distinguished by the dense and stout setae and punctures of the outer mandibular surface (Fig. 49B, D View Figure 49 ), deep basal concavity of the outer mandibular surface (Fig. 49B, D View Figure 49 ), etc., as summarised in Table 6 View Table 6 .
