Region between torulus and eye straight. Area between the anterior margin of eyes and demarkation of median clypeal lobe 0.08 LH. Eye not protuberant, 0.57 LH, with dense pilosity, located more laterally, lower margin without strong depression. Frons coriaceous-punctate. WH 1.0 LH. WF 0.65 WH. WF 1.15 HE. OOL 1.33 WOT.

Ocelli large, DAO 0.16 WF, ocellar triangle not compact, distance between posterior ocelli 1.60 DAO, anterior ocellus not surpassing imaginary top eye line, posterior ocellus distant from vertex. Vertex straight, short setae, 0.10 LH, temple profile slightly convergent in dorsal view, with corner convex, not projected postero-laterad. Hipostomal carina, angulate, low. <i>Mesosoma</i> (Fig. 72). Pronotal disc coriaceous-punctate, 0.51 as long as wide, anterior corner rounded, posterior margin concave medially, pronotal disc without short longitudinal furrow. Parapsidal furrow conspicuous only at third posterior part. Notauli parallel to each other. Mesoscutum 1.6 length pronotal disc. Scutellum coriaceous-punctate, 1.2 length pronotal disc, almost flat in profile, posterior margin convex medially, scutellar pit elliptical, narrowed, distant each other 12.5 its own diameter. Dorsal axillar surface with fovea almost circular. 0.83 length propodeal disc, incomplete posterad; discal carina 0.82 length propodeal disc, surpassing half length of propodeal disc, parallel to median carina, straight; space between median and discal carina confused-rugulose. Mesopleuron with subtegular furrow oval; mesepimeral suture almost inconspicuous posterad, mesopleural epicoxal lobe inconspicuous. 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 heart-shaped; median suture not evident. <i>Wings.</i> Macropterous. Forewing (Fig. 117) with 1M cell subpentagonal; 1M and 1R1 cells almost aligned basally; C cell widening distally; 1R1 cell present, slightly longer than 2R1 cell, evenly wide; Rs <i>b</i> straight; 2R1 cell 0.17 LFW; distal margin of Rs <i>c</i> convex; r-rs vein inclined; R1 <i>b</i> entirely on anterior margin of forewing; Cu <i>b</i> absent; Rs+M vein 0.75 Rs <i>a</i>; M vein 1.0 Rs <i>a</i>; Rs <i>a</i> subperpendicular to anterior margin of forewing; stigma rectangular; distal stigmal margin truncate. Hind wing with four distal hamuli, last hamulus discontinuous each other. <i>Legs.</i> Profemur swollen, 0.47 as wide as long. Metacoxa with median region 0.62 as wide as long. Metacoxal projection in dorsal region conspicuous, apex sharpened. <i>Metasoma.</i> 0.35 as wide as long. MALE. Unknown. <b>Material examined.</b> <i>Holotype</i> &amp;female;.

However this species has the ocelli large, the ocellar triangle almost compact, the 1M cell of forewing almost subtriangular, whereas <i>E. diemenensis</i> has the ocelli not too large, the ocellar triangle not compact, the 1M cell of forewing subpentagonal.
