Diagnosis

This species can be recognised by asymmetrical surstyli, right surstylus quadratic-shaped at the base with a small finger-like projection apically towards left surstylus, left surstylus slightly rectangular-shape at the base with a triangular projection in dorsal view (Fig. 13 A); phallic guide short, apically with downwards hook-like projection in lateral view (Fig. 13 B); gonopods slightly unequal, right higher than left one in ventral view (Fig. 13 B). The genitalia of this species are similar to E. fluviatilis (Becker, 1900). It differs by the shape of left surtylus in dorsal view and shape of right gonopod in ventral view. In E. flavicrus , the left surstylus has a rather rectangular base followed by a triangular projection in dorsal view (Fig. 13 a) and the right gonopod has a distinct finger-like projection (Fig. 13 B).
