Diagnosis and Relationships
markup
This species is most readily recognized by its broad clypeus and inflated gena. It is a much larger species than E. ormenus, which was also collected at high elevation sites in central Mexico. Although both E. pachycephalus and E. ormenus have a uniformly dark petiole, the hind femur is dark in E. ormenus and more lightly colored in E. pachycephalus. The hind legs of this species are shorter and broader than those of E. ormenus.
