Description from Seitz
For a key to the terms used, see Glossary of entomology terms.

E. kindermanni Stgr. (36 e). Somewhat smaller than maurisius, but closely allied to the same. The brown macular band rather broad, the cell distally brown; in the female the whole central area as far as the band with a brown tint. The hindwing has 5—6 russet-brown spots, which are ovate in the male and a little smaller and rounded in the female. On the underside the central area of the forewing is brown, the macular band being somewhat broader than above but less prominent. The two marginal spots in cellules 4 and 5 of the forewing and the three in cellules 2—4- of the hindwing have in the centre a very small black dot only in the female. — From the Altai.[2]
