Measurements. antennomeres length: 1st: 0.7–0.8; 2nd: 1.2–1.6; 3rd: 1.3–1.7; 4th: 2.8–2.9; 5th: 2.8–3.0; head length: 1.1–1.6; head width: 2.2–2.4; pronotal length: 2.0–2.6; pronotal width: 6.3–7.4; scutellum length: 4.6–5.3; scutellum width: 3.6–4.9; abdominal width: 5.6–7.0; total length: 11.1–13.1.
Diagnosis. Dorsally green, ventrally greenish yellow (Fig. 5G,H). Antennae black with base of segment IV and basal third of V whitish (Fig. 5G); first segment mostly green with dorsal surface smoky black (Fig. 5G). Anterolateral margins of pronotum greenish yellow, each with a green parallel line. Costal margins of coria each with a black stripe which occupies 1/5 of its extension. Each corium with a large brown spot on anterior 2/3 between claval suture and costal vein (Fig. 5G). Punctures of coria black. Abdomen with intersegmental areas and pseudosutures slightly darker than remaining surfaces (Fig. 5H). Pygophore with posterolateral angles slightly projected, rounded, tumid (Fig. 4A). Superior process of genital cup strongly developed (Fig. 4B). Mesial borders of gonocoxites 8 divergent distally leaving visible part of gonapophyses 8 (Fig. 4D). Gonocoxites 9 slightly compressed laterally as compared with other species in this group (Fig. 4D).
Description. Head. Apices of mandibular plates black.
Thorax. Humeral angles each with a black spot on apex (Fig. 5G,H). Scutellum with apex impunctate. Veins of coria greenish yellow (Fig. 5G). Membranes of hemelytra light brown (Fig. 5G). Ventral surface with shallow, black punctation (Fig. 5H).
Abdomen. Distal third of seventh abdominal segments black (Fig. 5G).
Male (Fig. 4 A–C). Dorsal rim of pygophore slightly projected, darker than dorsal surface, ending in a suture separating it from each posterolateral angle (Fig. 4A). Superior process of the genital cup black, elliptical, almost as long as parameres. Each paramere medially concave; anterior lobe subtriangular, almost reaching base of proctiger; posterior lobe tongue-like, curved laterally, touching superior process (Fig. 4B). Proctiger posterolaterally excavated, each excavation shallow (Fig. 4B), dorsally delimited by raised crest; posterior proctigeral face subtrian- gular, larger than in E. bryoviridis sp. n., mostly black. Ventral rim with a medial shallow excavation delimited by rounded, slightly tumid, well-developed expansions passing level of posterolateral angles in ventral view (Fig. 4C). Ventral surface densely punctured, rugose medially.
Female (Fig. 4D). Gonocoxites 8 slightly concave, outer lateral margins straight, distally projected, but not reaching middle of laterotergites 9. Gonocoxites 9 each with medial keel restricted to basal half. Laterotergites 9 shallowly concave basally; apices clearly surpassing sclerite uniting laterotergites 8.
Comments. See discussion of E. bryoviridis sp. n..
Distribution (Fig. 6). MEXICO: Chiapas; GUATEMALA: Guatemala, Escuintla; EL SALVADOR: San Salvador, La Libertad; COSTA RICA: Guanacaste.
