Male (from Arabian Sea) B, Mx1; C, Mx2; D, P1; E, P5; F, terminal claw of left P5.

Nota: Proportional lengths of the cephalothorax and urosome as 73 to 27.

The anal segment bears a tuft of hairs ventrally. A1 reaches back to about the middle of the urosome; certain segments are fused together, but this fusion differs on the two sides; on the left side, segments 8 and 9 fused and segment 10 partially with 9, segments 12 , 13 and 24, 25 are fused respectively; on the right side, in addition, segments 20 and 21 fused. In A2 the endopod is about half the length of the exopod. Md reduced and the biting blade absent. Mx1 reduced (similar to that of E. messinensis as figured by Giesbrecht (1902, Pl.XV, fig.17); the inner lobes entirely absent, and the 2nd basal segment and small endopod are fused, the latter is rounded distally and bears 3 setae; the exopod is well formed and bears 10 setae, and the outer lobe bears 6 setae. Mx2 reduced to a small, only partially segmented, process. In P1 the exopod is 2-segmented, of which the proximal is devoid of any marginal spines, 2 glands appear to open on the external margin, one near the middle of the segment and the second at the distal outer angle; the endopod 1-segmented, and the outer margin is produced in a rounded swelling that bears a row of needle-like spinules. P2, P3 and P4 resemble those of the female. P5 closely resemble those of E. messinensis Giesbrecht, E. pulchra (Lubbock), E. propria Esterly, E. orientalis Sewell and E. media With.
