[3] Titova based the original description of this species on 31 specimens (ten males, fourteen females, and seven juveniles).

[3] These specimens were collected on Chekhova mountain near the city of Yuzhno-Sakhalinsk on Sakhalin island in Russia.

The species name refers to the long and dense setae that cover the sternites in the anterior half of the body.

[3] The posterior margin of the labrum features a relatively deep concave arch in the middle and denticles that are long and obtuse.

The basal element of the ultimate legs feature pores on lateral as well as ventral surfaces.

This species, like E. hirsutus, features long and obtuse denticles on the labrum, one pair of lappets on the appendages of the first maxillae, bulges on all article of the forcipules, and anal pores.
