Maybe E. stigmosa, but more likely E. angulata or E. consors
This being a female specimen, it would be hard to distinguish among these three species morphologically. Admittedly, E. angulata and E. consors aren't reported east of Texas, but western Oklahoma wouldn't be an unimaginable occurrence.

In Schuh (1988), the diagnosis for E. stigmosa includes "Distinguished from both species [E. umbrosa and E. consors] by the pale antennae in E. stigmosa," and in the redescription: "antennal segment 1 black, sometimes black only basally, segment 2 at most darkened at extreme base." The photo in the paper bears this out, with the female having very pale antennae. The photo here shows the second antennomere darkened over the basal 2/5 at least, which matches more closely E. angulata or E. consors. That's why I think it's probably not E. stigmosa.
