2. Median process of male ninth abdominal tergite with posterior margin divided in the middle (Fig. 1 B, D)................ 3
- Median process of male ninth abdominal tergite with median longitudinal carina on dorsal surface, its posterior margin obtusely rounded (Fig. 1 E); male epiproct arcuately curved, with 1 deep concavity medially and some weak longitudinal rugosities laterally (Fig. 2 M); posterior margin of male subgenital plate obtusely rounded, styli obvious longer than other known congeners (Fig. 2 N).......................................................... .. E. bona Gorochov, 2012
3. Male eighth abdominal tergite with long median process (Fig. 1 A); median process of ninth abdominal tergite obviously curved ventrad, posterior margin with 1 deep and narrow concavity in the middle, the lateral sides lobate (Fig. 1 A, B); dorsoposterior surface of male epiproct longitudinal concave in the middle, posterior margin with 1 acute angle medially and 1 pair of rounded lateral lobes (Fig. 2 I); posterior margin of male subgenital plate shallowly concave between styli (Fig. 2 J)...................................................................................... E. tarasovi Gorochov, 2010
