For clarification: is this supposed to be a distinction between a 'stripe' and an 'area'? Because, when looking at the photogallery here as well as on insecte.org, there is

[a] quite a variation among different individuals across the species, probably largely due to angle and lighting condition
[b] is whitish meant as 'lighter' or really white? Because in my specimen, the stringly dusted/white are is confined to the anterior region as well
[c)] E. zimini fulfilling my definition of a prst dusted stripe

Not talking about other features, like chaetotaxy, here - just feel that in my opinion the mention in Gregor et al of the dusted stripe in one species only does not much help in species ID at best and might be misleading at worst
