Description. FEMALE (holotype). Body length 5.38 mm. LFW 4.05 mm.

venation castaneous; procoxa dark castaneous almost black; mesocoxa and metacoxa dark castaneous; trochanters castaneous; profemur, mesofemur, and metafemur dark castaneous; tarsi castaneous; metasoma dark castaneous almost black.

Head ( Fig. 42 View FIGURES 39–47 ). Head as long as wide, globoid in profile; gena weakly concave in profile. Mandible with base wider than apex, two lowermost teeth larger than upper ones, lower tooth curved inward, lower margin strongly setose. Clypeus coriaceous-punctate, median clypeal lobe angulate, median concavity of median clypeal lobe absent, 0.11 LH, well marked off from frons, median carina present, 0.31 LH. Malar space conspicuous, 0.33 mandibular base. Antenna 1.43 mm; first five antennomeres in ratio of about 11:10:10:10:10; flagellomere 1 1.25 longer than wide, flagellar pubescence dense, with many outstanding erect setae. Region between torulus and eye concave. Area between the anterior margin of eyes and demarkation of median clypeal lobe 0.10 LH. Eye not protuberant, 0.46 LH, with sparse hairs, located more laterally, lower margin without strong depression. Frons coriaceous-punctate. WH 1.0 LH. WF 0.65 WH. WF 1.37 HE. OOL 1.5 WOT. VOL 0.64 HE. Distance from posterior ocellus to vertex crest 0.67 DAO. Ocelli large, DAO 0.12 WF, ocellar triangle not compact, distance between posterior ocelli 2.0 DAO, anterior ocellus not surpassing imaginary top eye line, posterior ocellus distant from vertex. Vertex convex, long setae, 0.31 LH, temple profile slightly convergent in dorsal view, with corner convex, not projected posterolaterad. Hipostomal carina arched, low.

Mesosoma ( Fig. 87 View FIGURES 84–92 ). Pronotal disc coriaceous-punctate, 0.5 as long as wide, anterior corner rounded, posterior margin concave medially, pronotal disc without short longitudinal furrow. Parapsidal furrow wholly conspicuous. Notauli convergent posterad. Mesoscutum 1.78 length pronotal disc, lateral of weakly elevate posterad. Scutellum coriaceous-punctate, 1.43 length pronotal disc, almost flat in profile, posterior margin almost straight medially, scutellar pit elliptical, narrowed, distant each other 11.0 its own diameter. Dorsal axillar surface with fovea almost circular. Metanotum with median region high, coriaceouspuncticulate, as high as scutellum in profile, with fovea oval laterally. Propodeal disc wider than long; anterior margin without foveolate or transverse furrow; median carina 0.78 length propodeal disc, incomplete posterad; discal carina 0.28 length propodeal disc, parallel to median carina, straight; space between median and discal carina confused-rugulose. Mesopleuron with subtegular furrow elliptical; mesepimeral suture wholly conspicuous; mesopleural epicoxal lobe conspicuous. Propleuron with sequence of foveae from anterior margin of prosternum until cervical collar absent. Prosternum with median excavation complete, median suture present. Mesopectus with posterior depression composed by two large foveae almost fused; median suture evident.

Wings. Macropterous. Forewing ( Fig. 132 View FIGURES 123–132 ) with 1M cell subpentagonal; 1M and 1R1 cells not aligned basally; C cell widening distally;1R1 cell present, distinctly longer than 2R1 cell, evenly wide; Rs b convex; 2R1 cell 0.15 LFW; distal margin of Rs c angulate; r-rs vein inclined; R1 b entirely on anterior margin of forewing; Cu b absent; Rs+M vein 1.34 Rs a; M vein 1.15 Rs a; 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, 0.43 as wide as long. Metacoxa with median region 0.48 as wide as long. Metacoxal projection in dorsal region conspicuous, apex rounded.

Metasoma. 0.36 as wide as long, ventral carina of petiole present.

MALE. Unknown.

Material examined. Holotype ♀. AUSTRALIA, Tas [mania], 41.22S 147.24E, 10 Km ENE of Nuanamara, 11 Jan [uary] 1983, I.D.Naumann & J.C.Cardale, ex[tracted] ethanol, ANIC. GoogleMaps

Distribution. Australia (Tasmania).

Remarks. This specie species is similar to E. diemenensis by having the median clypeal lode angulate with median carina elevated, the vertex slightly convex, the ocelli small, the 1R1 cell of forewing clearly longer than 2R1 cell. However this species has the ocelli distant from crest vertex, the notauli close to each other, the forewing with C cell evident apically and the Rs b almost straight, whereas E. diemenensis the ocelli near from crest vertex, the notauli distant to each other, the forewing with C cell reduced apically and Rs b slightly concave medially.
