Abstract:
The genera of Eurycanthinae s. str. according to GÜNTHER, 1953, are accepted as members of Eurycanthini n. trib., based on the morphology of the genitalia and the eggs. The genus Cnipsus REDTENBACHER, 1908, is excluded. A key is provided to the genera, and a list with their synonymy included.
A new genus, Erinaceophasma, is erected for Promachus vepres BRUNNER V. WATTENWYL, 1907, and related species.
Three type-species of genera are designated: Trapezaspis kaiman REDTENBACHER, 1908, for Trapezaspis REDTENBACHER, 1908, Eupromachus acutangulus BRUNNER V. WATTENWYL, 1907, for Eupromachus BRUNNER V. WATTENWYL, 1907, and Acanthoderus rachis SAUSSURE, 1868, for Cnipsus REDTENBACHER, 1908.
