Remarks: E. ocellatus REY DEL CASTILLO, 1990 was recently described from Spain and compared with E. segmentarius and E. robustus (REY DEL CASTILLO 1990) but not with E. gracilicornis. E. ocellatus slightly differs from typical E. gracilicornis by stouter hind femur (4.4 - 5.0 × in E. ocellatus) and less extended red coloration of basal tergites. Since E. gracilicornis appears to be rather variable in the studied material, I synonymize both species here.
