Distribution. India: Sikkim (Darjeeling).

Comments. Breuning (1950) originally described the basal half of the antennae covered with straw-yellow pubescence from antennomere IV. Unfortunately, the holotype lacked complete antennae ( Figs 66–68 ), so it is difficult to verify the character. After comparing with other species, the senior author supposed the antennae of this species may be similar to E. motuoensis and E. reni .
