Discussion: E. barberella may be quickly separated from the other 

 species of Eudactylota by the lack of an anterior white line on the 

 third segment of the labial palpus. The male genitalia are nearest 

 those of iobapta but differ by having the lobes of the juxta slightly 

 swollen before the apex; those of iobapta taper gradually to the apex.
