| description |
Adults typically have a reddish-orange color pattern and a yellowish-white body. The top of the head has two orange-red parallel submedial lines, often with a lateral branch (resulting in a circular pale spot to either side of the lines); the midline is pale. There is a Y, V, or M-shaped mark on the pronotum; this mark is dark red, with yellowish-orange patches. The mesonotum is pale, with a dark apex and dark lateral triangles; the triangles sometimes have a yellow interior. In dark individuals, the scutellum has a noticeable darker reddish-brown tinge to it. The face and underside of the thorax are pale. The wing markings are not connected to one another, and there is a dark spot on the costal margins. Adults are 2.6- 2.8 mm long. (3I) |

| comments |
Dark individuals of this species could be confused with E. ardens. Nigriventer has a paler, less uniformly dark scutellum and pronotum, whereas [dark] individuals of ardens tend to have a uniformly blackish-brown scutellum that extends onto the pronotum. See ardens and nigriventer for comparison of specimens. |
