It's a bit difficult to be sure, but it appears to have the large scutellar tubercles of E.tuberculifera

Thank you! Yes it has a very rough surface on scutellum. Is it only E. tuberculifera that has that? Morgan |

I believe that tuberculifera has the longest tubercles (from which the marginal setae arise), but they can be quite large in some other species.
