Vertex straight, short setae, 0.14 LH, temple profile slightly convergent in dorsal view, with corner convex, not projected postero-laterad. Hipostomal carina, angulate, low. Mesosoma (Fig. 77). Pronotal disc coriaceous-punctate, 0.46 as long as wide, anterior corner rounded, posterior margin strongly concave medially, pronotal disc without short longitudinal furrow. Parapsidal furrow conspicuous only at third posterior part. Notauli convergent posterad. Mesoscutum 1.6 length pronotal disc. Scutellum coriaceous-punctate, 1.05 length pronotal disc, almost flat in profile, posterior margin convex medially, scutellar pit elliptical, narrowed, distant each other 13.0 its own diameter. Dorsal axillar surface with fovea oval. Metanotum with median region high, coriaceous-puncticulate, as high as scutellum in profile, with fovea oval laterally. Propodeal disc wider than long; anterior margin without foveolate or transverse furrow; median carina 0.44 length propodeal disc, incomplete posterad; discal carina 0.14 length propodeal disc, parallel to median carina, straight; space between median and discal carina confused-rugulose. Mesopleuron with subtegular furrow oval; mesepimeral suture wholly conspicuous, mesopleural epicoxal lobe inconspicuous. Propleuron with sequence of foveae from anterior margin of prosternum until cervical collar absent. Prosternum with median excavation complete, median suture absent. Mesopectus with posterior depression heart-shaped; median suture evident. Wings. Macropterous. Forewing ( Fig. 122 ) with 1M cell subpentagonal; 1M and 1R1 cells not aligned basally; C cell evenly narrow;cell present, distinctly longer than 2R1 cell, wider medially; Rs b convex; 2R1 cell 0.15 LFW; distal margin of Rs c convex; r-rs vein inclined; R1 b entirely on anterior margin of forewing; Cu b absent; Rs+M Legs.

Paratype . AUSTRALIA , Q[ueensland], 1 ♀ , 13 Km SE , Herberton , 24 May 1980 , ex[tracted] alcohol collection, I.D.Naumann , J.C.Cardale , ANIC . Distribution. Australia ( Tasmania , Queensland ). Remarks. This species is similar to E. diemenensis by having the median clypeal lobe short, angulate and with median carina extending up to frons, the vertex crest convex, the propodeal disc with median carina and discal carina present. However this species has the mesoscutum large, the median carina of propodeal disc very short, less than half length of propodeal disc, whereas E. diemenensis has the mesoscutum not large, the median carina of propodeal disc long, more than half length of propodeal disc.
