Amended Diagnosis. Males with tegmina developed ( E. didymus and troglobius n. sp.) or absent ( E. apterus ),

fore tibia with an oval auditory tympanum at inner side ( E. didymus and troglobius n. sp.) or without tympana ( E. apterous ); phallic sclerite: as initially described by Gorochov (2014).
