description
(Figs 3 C, 3 G, 4 A, 4 E, 6 C, 7 F, 9 D – E, 11 B, 11 E, 12 E)
diagnosis
Diagnosis. MALE. Clypeus deeply concave (Fig. 6 C); scape ventrally with two parallel carinae; F 1 weakly compressed, not wider than F 2. Metacoxa flattened with dense erect pale microsetae (Fig. 7 F). Pronotum and propodeum dorsally with dense pale setae obscuring cuticular sculpture (Fig. 3 C). T 2 laterally with small sparse punctures; T 7 with medial triangular impunctate line not forming tubercle posteriorly; cuspis robust, spatulate in inner view (Fig. 11 B). FEMALE. T 2 pale setal spots large, sparsely setose, obscurely defined (Fig. 4 A); distance between T 2 spots 0.3 – 0.5 × spot diameter; pale setal bands on T 3 – 4 complete (Fig. 4 A); pygidial plate entirely with finer micro-reticulation and with irregular sub-rugae anteriorly (Fig. 12 E); lateral margins of pygidial plate subparallel posteriorly.
discussion
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. (2019 a) resurrected E. oryzae to full species status on the basis of female morphology, together with the difference in punctation of male T 2 included in Mickel’s (1935) key. Here, we follow this treatment and diagnostic characters recognized by Mickel (1935) and Williams et al. (2019 a) are included in the key below.
