Chelicerae Description: “Male Holotype. Fixed finger typical, curved proximally in dorsal view; edge straight dorsally and slightly upturned distally on the ventral edge (Figs. 4D, 5G & H). Movable finger with large proximal tooth, 1 large MSM separate from MP, smaller MSM, typical scaber MM with cleft, tiny MPL tooth (Figs, 5G & H). FNL > FNH. MVG typical of E. scaber species group, deep and medially situated. Fondal teeth graded I, III, II, IV retrolaterally and prolaterally; 3 RFA; 3 RF (Fig. 6D)” (Brookhart & Cushing, 2016, p. 516).

Chelicerae Setae Description: “Cheliceral setal pattern: typical eremobatid setal pattern; dorsal cheliceral setation (pvd) typical, fondal plumose setae (pvd) extend to top of fondal tooth I; mpd plumose setae extend to the anterior of MM” (Brookhart & Cushing, 2016, p. 516).

Palpal Description: “Male holotype. The medial surface of the palpal metatarsus displays 80-100 scattered palpal papillae (Fig. 7B). . . . No paired setae on palpal tibia, scattered thin setae distally on palpal femur” (Brookhart & Cushing, 2016, p. 516).

Ctenidia Description: “There are four ctenidia extending half the length of the succeeding sternite (Fig. 8C)” (Brookhart & Cushing, 2016, p. 516).

Operculum Description: “Genital operculum: narrow anterior arms, similar to Eremobates icenoglei (Brookhart & Cushing 2004) and a hooked posterior end similar to Eremobates socal (Brookhart & Cushing 2004) (Fig. 9A)” (Brookhart & Cushing, 2016, p. 516).

Diagnosis: “Males of this species are separated from the E. icenoglei by the presence of a medial tooth, four ctenidia, and lighter coloration (Figs. 5G & H, 8C). Brookhart & Cushing (2004) suggested that the northern California species identified there as E. ascopulatus might be a different species. We now suspect those northern California specimens are actually E. fisheri” (Brookhart & Cushing, 2016, p. 515).
