Variability. Female: Body length: 3.0– 4.9mm. Head extensively pale on supraclypeal area, inner and outer orbits and lateral vertex, to nearly completely black. All abdominal sterna and downturned parts of terga completely yellow, to nearly completely black. Male: 3.5–3.8mm. Total number of specimens examined: 30.

Genetic data. Although there is no distinct barcode sequence, E. arcticornis is apparently identifiable using nuclear ITS2 sequences (Leppänen et al. 2014).
