  Do you have a picture of a true E.marginatus , or better, a good picture of the holotype ? |

                Posted - 03/09/2019 : 18:38:17  I find one specimen very close in Jiangxi in June this year. Like you I think in first marginatus or maybe kusamai. |

                Posted - 02/09/2019 : 14:28:43  Sorry Sangamesh, but I do not find it with your link. This one works. Anyway, it's neither of these two species from Taiwan, given the length of the antennas. |
