Comments. Breuning (1973) thought E. tonkinensis was close to E. plagiatus . Actually, E. tonkinensis is closer to E. matsudai spinipennis , it can be distinguished from E. matsudai spinipennis by the pronotum without a longitudinal yellowish brown stripe along median line, marginal angles more acuminate ( Figs 107 & 111 ).
