Diagnosis

Female

Mostly black to extensively pale, head (always?) extensively pale around eyes, pterostigma pale, claws with small subapical tooth, valvula 3 short and gradually tapering. Lancet has 11–12 annuli, with teethlike setae, and basal 2–3 annuli without serrulae.

Male (differences from female)

Extensively to mostly pale.

Most similar species is E. gehrsi , from which it usually differs by its larger size and paler colouration. Paravalva of E. annulata is possibly more abruptly narrowed basally compared to E. gehrsi .An externally very similar species is also E. taegeri (character states in parentheses), from which it differs by having lancet with about 11 annuli (about 15 annuli), basal 2–3 annuli without serrulae (all annuli with serrulae), convex ventroapical margin of lancet (straight or concave), and slender valvispina. Another similar species is E. infirma , from which it differs in its larger size, paler colouration, broader valvula 3, basal 2–3 annuli without serrulae (all annuli with serrulae), convex ventroapical margin of lancet (straight or concave), and pseudoceps without apical filament (with filament).
