| description |
A yellowish-white species with a thin reddish-orange color pattern. The vertex has divergent orange parallel submedial lines, often with lateral branch; the vertex midline is pale. The face and thoracic venter are entirely pale. The pronotum has thin Y- or V-shaped medial vitta with an orange straight line on each lateral margin. The mesonotum is pale with dark lateral triangles; the apex is dark, contrasting with adjacent pale areas. The thin orange markings on the wings are broken, and there is a dark spot on the costal margin. Adults are 2.8-3.1 mm long. (Dmitriev & Dietrich, 2007)

| comments |
E. nudata is closest in appearance to E. acuticephala. Both species have essentially the same color pattern, but in nudata the lines are noticeably thinner than in acuticephala (especially on the wings). The clavical lines also have more of a hook-shape to their tips near the middle of the wings, in nudata; in acuticephala, the tips are more block-shaped. |
