Eburia (Eburia) – Martins 1997: 78. Type species: Cerambyx quadrimaculatus Linnaeus, 1767 (by subsequent designation Hope 1843: 189).

Type species

Cerambyx quadrimaculatus Linnaeus, 1767 (by subsequent designation Hope 1843: 189).

The genus Eburia was proposed by Lacordaire (1830) and characterized by Thomson (1861) in having antennomere III without sulcus, just shorter than IV, antennomere XI longer than X, prothorax with lateral spines, mesosteral process without tubercle and metafemora not reaching the elytral apex. Currently, the genus is comprised of 87 species and two subgenera: the nominative subgenus, Eburia (85 species), and the subgenus Eleutho Thomson, 1864 (two species). The genus Eleutho was described by Thomson (1864) for a single species, Eleutho consobrina (Jacquelin DuVal, 1857) , and later synonymized by Martins (1999) with Eburia . Vitali (2007), describing the species Eburia (Eleutho) consobrinoides ( Fig. 2A ), realized a great similarity of this species with Eburia consobrina and proposed that Eleutho should be considered as a subgenus of Eburia . According to Vitali (2007), this subgenus is characterized “by deeply excavate scape, spined prothorax and extremely developed antennomere XI”.
