This species has not been found after its description and has been recorded only from Venezuela. Specimens of
E. duidaensis
are shorter (13.0 to 14.0 mm) than those of its congeners. Males of
E. duidaensis
bear a process at the posterior end of the male genital capsule (
Figs. 62–63
) (
Brooks 1953
), which are absent in species occurring in Brazil. There is no information about scutellar punctation and size and shape of the anteapical pointed protuberance of the middle femora. The female is unknown.
