Taxonomy notes

may be included in E. rufifrons, but is tentatively retained as a distinct species here; the basis of inclusion under E. rufifrons is that one of the three original specimens was identified as representing E. rufifrons and further work is needed to determine if the other specimens are in fact E. rufifrons
