Remarks. This species was erected as species by Pagden (1934) from Malaysia. Later, Pagden (1949) regarded it as a continental subspecies of E. amans because no difference in male genitalia was found and other morphological differences were “too slight to have specific significance”. Recently, Williams et al. (2019a) resurrected E. oryzae to full species status on the basis of female morphology, together with the difference in punctation of male T2 included in Mickel’s (1935) key. Here, we follow this treatment and diagnostic characters recognized by Mickel (1935) and Williams et al. (2019a) are included in the key below.
