Genus Eurymorphopus Hancock, 1907 Eurymorphopus Hancock, 1907: 30. — Kirby 1910: 21 (included in a catalog); 1914: 48 (included in the “ Metrodorini ” group). — Günther 1939: 41 (description of a new species); 1972: 269 (belongs to Cladonotinae based on the width of the scutellum). — Vanschuytbroeck 1980: 10 (included in a catalog). — Blackith 1992: 69 (included in a catalog). — Yin et al. 1996: 870 (included in a catalog). — Otte 1997: 45 (included in a catalog). — Tumbrinck 2014a: 350 (included in Cladonotinae, taxonomic notes). — Skejo et al. 2020b: 181 (taxonomic notes). — Storozhenko 2023b: 61 (included in tribe Trusmaditetrigini Storozhenko, 2023). TYPE SPECIES. — Amorphopus cunctatus Bolívar, 1887, by original monotypy. COMPOSITION. — Amorphopus cunctatus Bolívar, 1887, Eurymorphopus bolivariensis Tumbrinck, 2014. DISTRIBUTION. — Known only from New Caledonia. DIAGNOSIS. — Frontal costa bifurcation a little above ventral margin of eyes. Antennae short. Vertex crown-like, low or elevated, a little concave. Anterior margin of pronotum straight. Median carina elevated in anterior part of pronotum, forming very small triangular hump. Pronotal apex rounded. Lateral lobes strongly projected laterally. Third segment of hind tarsus as long as first. REMARK Hancock (1907) postulated that Eurymorphopus is related to Amorphopus Serville, 1838 from South America. Amorphopus is fully winged and has extremely broadened femora, but otherwise appears to be related to Eurymorphopus and similar genera, especially when their head morphologies are compared. The tribe Amorphopini Günther, 1939 is currently placed within Metrodorinae, but does not share many similarities with the type genus Metrodora Bolívar, 1887.
