Remarks.

In Kimsey and Bohart (1991: 297), under the name Brugmoia [= Euchroeus] torrida ( Mocsáry, 1889). The generic name Euchroeus Latreille was conserved by the International Commission on Zoological Nomenclature (ICZN, Opinion 1906). The name candens was considered as a junior secondary homonym of Chrysura candens Germar, 1817 (currently Chrysura candens) by Mocsáry (1889). Since the two respective species have been considered as belonging to different genera after 1889, the name Euchroeus candens must be considered as a valid name (Madl and Rosa 2012: 84).

Current status.
