Diagnosis. This is a small species, ovate and convex in body shape, which resembles some E. carbonarius in punctation. It is glabrous and shining with the integument finely and sparsely punctulate. The pronotum is subquadrate and widest at the middle. The anterior and posterior protibial spurs are distinctly dissimilar in size, especially in the female. Length: 12–15 mm.
Distribution. This species is rather common in West Texas (Brewster, Culberson, Jeff Davis, Presidio counties), especially at upper elevations. The type-locality is in New Mexico. In Mexico, it ranges as far south as Aguascalientes.
