Scutellum coriaceous-punctate, 0.95 length pronotal disc, convex in profile, posterior margin convex medially, scutellar pit elliptical, narrowed, distant each other 15.0 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 0.71 length propodeal disc, incomplete posterad; discal carina 0.29 length propodeal disc, parallel to median carina, straight; space between median and discal carina confused-rugulose. Mesopleuron with subtegular furrow elliptical; mesepimeral suture almost inconspicuous posterad; mesopleural epicoxal lobe inconspicuous. Propleuron with sequence of foveae from anterior margin of prosternum until cervical collar absent. Prosternum with median with median excavation complete, median suture present. Mesopectus with posterior depression heartshaped; median suture not evident.

Wings. Macropterous. Forewing ( Fig. 115 View FIGURES 113–122 ) with 1M cell subpentagonal; 1M and 1R1 cells not aligned basally. C cell widening distally;1R1 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 vein 1.2 Rs a; M vein 1.29 Rsa; Rs a subperpendicular to anterior margin of forewing; stigma rectangular; distal stigmal margin truncate. Hind wing with four distal hamuli, last hamulus discontinuous each other.

Legs. Profemur swollen, 0.41 as wide as long. Metacoxa with median region 0.5 as wide as long. Metacoxal projection in dorsal region conspicuous, apex sharpened.

Metasoma. 0.26 as wide as long.

Distribution. Australia (Queensland).

Variation. Body length 4.53–5.00 mm; LFW 3.10–4.05 mm; head and mesosoma with many setae; median carina of propodeal disc long; legs light castaneous.

Remarks. This species is similar to E. diemenensis by having the median clypeal lobe angulate, the vertex crest straight, the pronotal disc short and the 2R1 cell of forewing subrectangular. However this species has the ocelli large, the propodeal disc without discal carina, median carina not reaching posterior carina, whereas E. diemenensis has the ocelli not too large, the propodeal disc with discal carina, median carina of propodeal disc reaching declivity region of posterior carina.
