Most Phasia and Ectophasia are sexually dimorphic with the males being bigger than the females. In E.crassipennis the males have wings marked with little dots and a longitudinal stripe on the abdomen (of varying widths); while the females have one large dark patch on the wing and a central abdomenal stripe that widens posteriorly, as in your photos ![]() |
