Tribe Eulonchopriini Moure
As noted in the introductory comments, the inclusion of E. simplicicrus within Eulonchopria renders the circumscription of the genus problematic and obviates most of the traits that serve to distinguish the genus. Accordingly, as E. simplicicrus is related to but clearly outside of Eulonchopria s.l., removing the former to its own genus retains the integrity of Eulonchopria as it has historically been understood, and emphasizes the unique combination of features embodied by E. simplicicrus and the new species described herein. Given that E. simplicicrus remains known only from the male holotype, while the new species is known from both sexes, I’ve selected the later to serve as type species.
