>>Sorry to respond to my own post but let me also say that In reviewing the keys and photos in Bellosa and Bisplinghof (2012) it looks to me MOST like crassus but it also appears to have some characteristics of subspecies of maurus. I'm also not ruling out the possibility that it is a hybrid.

Per (what I think is) the latest re-classification, there is no subspecies of maurus anymore.  However, to your point, the new species designation E. maurus, according to the authors, is closely related to the new E. crassus species! Anyway, if anyone want's a link to the paper, let me know. I'd post it here, but the post, if not the entire thread, would probably get deleted.
