Three species were synonymized as one species, E. atrica … then after DNA testing it was determined they were three species after all, E. atrica, E. duellica, and E. saeva. Yours would be either E. duellica, or E. saeva with E. duellica being the more likely. Also just to complicate maters those two species can hybridize.
