So I got this from Morten to check genitalia, I believe it should be E. rustica

Looks good. Can’t see the fifth sternite to check for mimula, but vertex is too broad anyhow for mimula.

Thank you Theo, I did check for that. however, forgot to add the picture, I believe there is no indented S5. Isn't mimula supposed to have the broadest frons? according to Tschorsnig & Herting.
