Marshall (1926) described the genus Eudraces as closely allied to Tanyrhynchus Schoenherr, 1826 , a genus currently listed in Tanyrhynchini Schoenherr, 1826, but at the time of the description both genera were in the subfamily Tanyrhynchinae. Oberprieler (1995) transfered Eudraces to Myorhinini Marseul, 1863 , the same place where it is also placed in the catalogue of families and genera of Curculionoidea ( Alonso-Zarazaga & Lyal 1999). In the Myorhinini , it is possible to distinguish it by the following set of characters: metatibial corbels absent, scapes exceeding anterior margin of eyes, rostrum continuous with the head, not separated from head by transverse sulcus, eyes laterally placed, space between them distinctly wider than space between the bases of the antennae, femora unarmed, ventral part of rostrum denuded of scales, ocular lobes weakly developed and tarsal claws free.
