Diagnosis
This species is closely related to E. aurofinis except for the following characters: body length about 8 mm, not densely punctuated (with coarse and dense punctuation in E. aurofinis ); wing hyaline (infuscated in E. aurofinis in the area posterior to intersection of veins R 2+3 and R 4+5); metafemur slightly enlarged (strongly enlarged in E. aurofinis ); aedeagal apodeme long, narrow and abruptly bent apically (short, wide and without bend in E. aurofinis ) (see Grković et al. 2015: 367, fig. 4C); posterior lobe of surstylus in lateral view wider than in E. aurofinis (see Grković et al. 2015: 367, fig. 4A).
Etymology
The specific epithet ‘ brevipilosus ’ [Latin] is derived from ‘brevis’ (short) and ‘pilosus’ (pilose), in reference to the very sparse and short pile on the head, thorax and abdomen rarely seen in the genus Eumerus .
