Material examined

UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, Florida: 1 ♂, Miami-Dade County, May 1953 (MNRJ); 1 ♀, 14 May 1956, D.R. Paulson leg. (MNRJ); 1 ♂, 29 May 1962 (MNRJ); 1 ♀, Jun. 1964 (MNRJ); Hamilton County, ♀, Jun. 1964 (MNRJ).

Remarks

In addition to the characteristics mentioned by Vitali (2007), the subgenus Eleutho can be characterized and differentiated from the nominative subgenus, Eburia, by the scape and basal antennomeres being granulate, mainly in males (Fig. 2C), and by antennomeres III–IX with projection in the outer side of the apex (Fig. 2A).

Examination of material of Eburia stroheckeri, including photographs of the holotype (Fig. 2 B–C), allowed me to conclude that this species has the characteristics of Eburia (Eleutho) and I include it in that subgenus as a new subgeneric assignment.
