Fore femur with 2–7 long posterodorsal setae (fig. 3, <i>9</i>), mid femur with long and dense setae on anteroventral surface and large kidney-like femoral organ in distal one-third of femur; medioventral cape of femoral organ densely white microtrichose (fig. 3, <i>10–11</i>). Scutellum with one pair of apical setae. Abdominal tergites with wide black pattern................................................................................................ <i>E. pictiventris.</i> — Fore femur only with short posterodorsal setae not longer than its width, mid femur with short setae on anteroventral surface; femoral organ in female either oval, without white microtrichose parts, or absent.
