Face closely and distinctly punctured and thickly covered with short 

 white pubescence. Front and vertex smooth and shining. Mandibles 

 and palpi lemon-yellow ; the mandibular teeth black. On the thorax 

 the edge of the pronotum, the tegulse, a line round the sides and apex 

 of the SGUtellum and the apex of the post-scutellum are lemon-yellow. 

 Thorax smooth and shining ; the keels on the median segment are 

 not very stout ; the central area is large, wide ; the basal keels are 

 roundly curved. Legs lemon-yellow ; the hinder coxse and trochanters 

 black. Wings clear hyaline ; the stigma and nervures black ; the 

 transverse cubital nervure is short ; the part of the cubitus between 

 it and the recurrent nervure is double its own length. Abdomen 

 smooth and shining ; the keels on the base of the petiole are short. 



This is a smaller species than E. zanthopus, and may be known from 

 it by the scutellum being only lined along the edges with yellow, and by 

 the keels bounding the central area of the median segment being roundly 

 curved at the base, not straight and oblique.
