Hi, filed as E. duellica. Three species were synonymized as E. atrica a few years ago, then they did DNA testing on them last year and decided they were three species after all and split them back up. A lot of images online (including some still here, I’ve been meaning to get to them) are IDed as E. atrica but many of them may actually now be classified as E. duellica and E. saeva.
