The most similar species is E. (B.) colmani, but it differs in molecular results and in the male having an almost straight pallial vas deferens and penial duct, although the female reproductive system is similar to that of E. (B.) colmani. Compared with E. (B.) pallida this species is larger and darker coloured.
