( Figs 13–18 View FIGURES 13–18 )
Diagnosis. Belonging in species group bonaverensis (González, García Aldrete, Carrejo & Panche, 2018) . It is related to E. huitota n. sp. and E. kakwa n. sp., differing from them by the hypandrium processes: antero-lateral processes narrowing distally, apices directed posteriorly; median posterior projections separated by a deep incision, anteriorly wide, narrowing distally to rounded apices and by presence of posterior endophallic sclerites.
Color (of parts mounted on slide). Head ( Fig. 15 View FIGURES 13–18 ) pale brown with frontal dark pattern; compounds eyes black, ocelli hyaline, with ochre centripetal crescents; genae dark brown; clypeus brown, with diagonal brown bands converging to the middle; maxillary palps light brown, Mx1 paler than the other palpomeres. Legs pale brown. Forewings ( Fig. 13 View FIGURES 13–18 ) hyaline, veins brown, with brown spots at veins ends; cells cu1 and cu2 with brown areas; pterostigma with proximal and distal brown bands. Hindwings ( Fig. 14 View FIGURES 13–18 ) hyaline, veins brown. Hypandrium dark brown. Epiproct and paraprocts light brown.
Morphology. Head: H/MxW: 3.33; H/D: 2.6; IO/MxW: 0.17. Compound eyes mid-sized. Outer cusp of lacinial tips broad, with five denticles. Forewings: L/W: 2.41. Pterostigma wider in the middle, semi-oval: lp/wp: 1.52, areola postica broadly triangular, with rounded apex: al/ah: 1.35. M four branched, M 4 distally forked. Hypandrium ( Fig. 18 View FIGURES 13–18 ), anteriorly slightly protruded in the middle, with border almost straight; antero-lateral processes narrowing distally, apices directed posteriorly; median posterior projections separated by a deep incision, anteriorly wide, narrowing distally to rounded apices, bearing each a macroseta. Phallosome ( Fig. 17 View FIGURES 13–18 ), with side struts V-shaped, external parameres distally broad, rounded, posteriorly with a row of microspicules; anterior endophallic sclerites broad, anteriorly straight, wider in the middle and acuminate posteriorly, mesal sclerites wider anteriorly, bowshaped, distally pointed; posterior sclerites small, broadly triangular, anteriorly and posteriorly acuminate. Paraprocts ( Fig. 16 View FIGURES 13–18 ) triangular, with setal field posteriorly, a large mesal macroseta and two spatulate macrosetae as illustrated. Sensory fields with 22 trichobothria on basal rosettes. Epiproct ( Fig. 16 View FIGURES 13–18 ) anteriorly straight, rounded posteriorly, with three mesal macrosetae near anterior border, other setae as illustrated
