Description
Males of E. glorius have a total length of 6.80–8 mm.[3] The carapace is light brown with sparse hair, and the sides and front margin of the eye region have sparse white hair. The abdomen is slender and cylindrical, with a light brownish-yellow dorsal surface lacking distinct markings.[3]
The species can be distinguished from similar species in the genus by the male's long cymbial apophysis, which is armed with small serrula on its ventral edge, and the well-developed retrolateral tibial apophysis.[2]
Females have a total length of approximately 10 mm and can be identified by the widely separated copulatory openings with two depressions between them.[2]
