Frons, upper part subshining black, lower part silvery pollinose, except shining black spot in the middle; eyes touching for distance equal to 3.5–4 times ocellar triangle. Occiput, lower half silvery pollinose, upper half more brown.

Thorax. Humeri brown (slightly paler than mesonotum). Mesonotum (viewed obliquely from front) brownish pollinose, along anterior margin more greyish; silvery pollinose from the side. Scutellum brownish pollinose, without hairs. Dorsocentral hairs short, pale. Halter brown.

Legs. Trochanters, femora, knees and tibiae brown. Tarsal segments brown, last segment black. Ventroapical row of spines on femora missing. Subapical (distal) spines on first four tibiae present. No anteromedial hairs on 3rd tibia. Hind trochanter covered with short, velvet-like hairs on ventral side. Pulvilli than last tarsal segment.

Wing. Fourth costal section 0.4–0.5 times as long as third costal section. Cross-vein R-M beyond 2/5 of discal cell. Pterostigma fully coloured. Hairs on tegula missing.

Abdomen (already dissected). Viewed obliquely from front tergites (T1,2) brownish pollinose. Hairs dispersed, short and weakly developed. Laterally 3 dark spines on first tergite.

Genitalia. Surstyli asymmetrical, OS with a pointed tip in dorsal view; epandrium elongated; m.a. as wide as 1/3 of ST8 ( Fig. 28G View FIGURE 28 ). SES with hairy ridges on both sides; gonopods short, both with medial lobes (overlapping in ventral view, Fig. 28F View FIGURE 28 ), IG with pointed tip; hypandrium with elongated lobes; phallic guide broad, sides parallel, distal part with three pointed appendices ( Fig. 28J View FIGURE 28 ); phallus trifid, coiled.

Female—Unknown.

Remarks —Similar to E. swanengi , but phallus long, curved, OG larger than IG, with pointed tip; SES not very well developed, arms of surstyli smaller.

Distribution— South Africa.

Etymology —The name pilulus refers to the hairy SS and the SES.
