Echinocnemodes fallaciosus Voss 1962: 223 (original description).

Echinocnemodes fallaciosus: Alonso-Zarazaga & Lyal 1999: 163 (catalogue).

Type locality. Mukana-Lusinga [ Democratic Republic of Congo].

Type material. Not examined.

Additional material examined. 2 ♂♂, Democratic Republic of Congo, Kambulu , 20.xii.1949, A. H. Newton ( BMNH) ; 1 ♂, Tanzanie, Kiwula , Mbeya, 22.iii.1963, swept under Pinus radiata, T. Jones & W. Wilkinson lgt. ( BMNH) .

Remarks. Voss (1962) described the genus Echinocnemodes as monotypic, without any differential diagnosis, but he listed it in the subfamily Tanyrrhinchinae and compared it in the key with other Myorhinini genera, mainly with Anathresa Marshall, 1908 , due to its having free tarsal claws. The description and also the key clearly define the main characters of the genus and also using the figure supporting the description, I have no doubt material I was able to examine from Democratic Republic of Congo and Tanzania is conspecific with Echinocnemodes fallaciosus . Echinocnemodes is in all generic characters identical to the genus Eudraces and is hence here placed in synonymy with it. Voss probably did not know Eudraces , a genus described later than the other Myorhinini genera and not given in Marshall’s key to the genera of the tribe ( Marshall 1908); Voss did not use Eudraces in his key to Myorhinini genera completing the genus description. Eudraces fallaciosus is an different species, very similar to E. faurei , from which it can be distinguished by characters stated in the key.
