The primary papillae are conical with rounded bases and two to three scale ranks in the apical section. The external jaw blade has two accessory teeth, the internal with one accessory tooth and 12 den tic les. The diastema is monolobular. The dorsal part is dark brown with a pattern of hexagons conspicuous for their light reddish- brown papillae. The new species is closely related to E.isthmicola and E. nicaraguensis, also from Central America.
