Similar to E. xmatkuilensis López-Martínez, Delfin-González & van Achterberg, 2011 but differing in the degree of sculpture on the frons, which is relatively smooth in E. xmatkuilensis and with more carinae in this species. The ocelli are much smaller in E. xmatkuilensis , and the black color restricted to the stemmaticum in E. xmatkuilensis is more extensive in E. randallgarciai .
