Material examined.

1 ♂; St. 3; 24°11.2014'N, 48°07.850'E; 24 Nov. 2014.

Remarks.

The specimen is similar to E. gladia Kensley, Schotte & Poore, 2009 in having the long, thin saber-like mandible from Somalia. However, it differs from E. gladia in having a mandible with only one conical lobe at its base rather than two and having an acute mediofrontal process (vs. absent in E. gladia ).
