Taxonomic comments Alongside E. longicornis, the species is easily recognizable by the long antennae, with all funiculars at least slightly longer than wide. From the female of the latter species the female of E. filicornis differs mostly in having shorter antennae, with less elongated funicular segments (Fig. 4E).
