  Description

  
  

  Wing length: 13mm. See the very similar E. ceratucha (Meyrick, 1894). Yoshiyasu (1989) re-describes the sp. and illustrates the male and female genitalia. It has close affinities to E. simplicialis Snellen, 1876 from Thailand and Indonesia. The two are best distinguished by genitalia. However Yoshiyasu (1989) lists minor differences of appearance.
