Vertex straight, long setae, 0.17 LH, temple profile slightly convergent in dorsal view, with corner convex, not projected postero-laterad. Hipostomal carina straight, low.

Mesosoma ( Fig. 74 View FIGURES 66–74 ). Pronotal disc coriaceous-punctate, 0.33 as long as wide, anterior corner rounded, posterior margin concave medially, pronotal disc without short longitudinal furrow. Parapsidal furrow conspicuous only at third posterior part. Notauli convergent posterad. Mesoscutum 1.63 length pronotal disc. Scutellum coriaceous-punctate, 1.25 length pronotal disc, almost flat in profile, posterior margin almost straight medially, scutellar pit elliptical, narrowed, distant each other 11.0 its own diameter. Dorsal axillar surface with fovea oval. Metanotum with median region high, coriaceous-puncticulate, as high as scutellum in profile, with fovea oval laterally. Propodeal disc wider than long; anterior margin without foveolate or transverse furrow; median carina 0.87 length propodeal disc, incomplete posterad; discal carina 0.40 length propodeal disc, parallel to median carina, straight; space between median and discal carina confused-rugulose. Mesopleuron with subtegular furrow oval; mesepimeral suture almost inconspicuous posterad, mesopleural epicoxal lobe inconspicuous. Propleuron with sequence of foveae from anterior margin of prosternum until cervical collar absent. Prosternum with median excavation complete, median suture present. Mesopectus with posterior depression composed by two large foveae almost fused; median suture not evident.

Wings. Macropterous. Forewing ( Fig. 119 View FIGURES 113–122 ) with 1M cell subpentagonal; 1M and 1R1 cells not aligned basally; C cell evenly narrow;1R1 cell present, distinctly longer than 2R1 cell, wider medially; Rs b convex; 2R1 cell 0.13 LFW; distal margin of Rs c convex; r-rs vein inclined; R1b arching distally; Cu b absent; Rs+M vein 1.0 Rs a; M vein 1.0 Rs a; Rs a slightly inclined toward tegula; stigma rectangular; distal stigmal margin truncate. Hind wing with five distal hamuli, last hamulus discontinuous each other.

Distribution. Australia (Australian Capital Territory, New South Wales, Western Australia, Victoria, Tasmania).

Variation. Body length 5.00– 5.48 mm; LFW 3.57–4.53 mm; Rs b and Rs c of forewing slightly convex.

Remarks. This species is similar to E. iwaidja sp. nov. by having the area between the anterior margin of eyes and demarkation of median clypeal lobe short, the median clypeal lobe angulate, short, with median carina extending to frons, the ocelli small, the propodeal disc with discal carina. However this species has the pronotal disc short, the mesoscutum large, discal carina of propodeal disc converging posterad, whereas E. iwaidja sp. nov.
