N o t e TURNER in its original diagnosis wrote "Almost certainly the male of E. innotata, Turn., which was taken in considerable numbers, at the same time. E. heterogamia, Sauss., a larger species, also occur more sparingly in the same locality". Unfortunately he gave no news about examination of the type of the former and J.C. GUILLARMOD, who performed a lot of sex association for austral taxa, did not refer anything about too, so that the coupling can not be confirmed. Males ascribed to M. heterogamia are definitively different from it.
Female unknown.
