Figs 13–18 View FIGURES 13–18

Diagnosis. It is related to E. caldasi n. sp., E. rafaeli n. sp., E. lasdelicias n. sp., E. vaupesiana n. sp., E. picta New , and E. pictaoides García Aldrete , from which it differs by the posterior processes of the central sclerite of the hypandrium, and by the shape of the mesal endophallic sclerite.

Color (in 80% ethanol). Head ochraceous, with a dark brown pattern as illustrated ( Fig. 15 View FIGURES 13–18 ). Forewings veins brown, with a dark brown spot at wing margin surrounded by a clear window. Pterostigma dark brown, slightly less pigmented at the lower angle; first section of vein Rs, vein M, Cu1 and crossvein Rs-M dark brown ( Fig. 13 View FIGURES 13–18 ). Hindwings hyaline, veins pale brown, with a dark brown spot distally ( Fig. 14 View FIGURES 13–18 ). Central sclerite of hypandrium pale brown, with median Y-shaped dark brown sclerotization. Epiproct pale brown, paraprocts pale brown, with a dark brown curved band limiting the outer border of the sensory fields.

Morphology. Head ( Fig. 15 View FIGURES 13–18 ): H/MxW: 1.46, H/d: 3.59, compound eyes large: IO/MxW: 0.5; H/D: 2.55. Vertex concave in the middle. Lacinia with seven denticles. Forewings ( Fig. 13 View FIGURES 13–18 ). L/W: 2.38, pterostigma elongate, angulate towards Rs, lp/wp: 3.29. Areola postica tall, apex rounded, slanted posteriorly al/ah: 1.07. Hindwings ( Fig. 14 View FIGURES 13–18 ): l/w: 2.2. Central sclerite of hypandrium bifurcate as in Fig. 18 View FIGURES 13–18 ; side sclerites large, broadly triangular. Phallosome with side struts V-shaped ( Fig. 17 View FIGURES 13–18 ), external parameres with outer border membranous, internally sclerotized, membranous area bearing pores, slightly projected posteriorly. Mesal endophallic sclerite ( Fig. 17 View FIGURES 13–18 ), Mshaped, with median and lateral posterior projections almost equal in length. Paraprocts ( Fig. 16 View FIGURES 13–18 ) oval, with setae as illustrated, sensory fields with 32 trichobothria on basal rosettes. Epiproct wide, subtriangular, basally rounded, convex apically, with four macrosetae: two preapical and two medial; two little apical setae; other setae as illustrated ( Fig. 16 View FIGURES 13–18 ).

Measurements. FW: 4350, HW: 2975, F: 625, T: 1325, t1: 750, t2: 60, t3: 100, ctt1: 14, f1: 240, f2:870, f3:740, f4:600, Mx4: 250, IO: 570, D: 450, d: 320, IO/d: 1.78, PO: 0.71.
