Description

Eburella Monné & Martins, 1973

Eburella Monné & Martins, 1973: 152.

Eburella (Galileoella) Özdikmen, 2025b: 2900. Syn. nov.

Remarks. Özdikmen (2025b) divided Eburella into two subgenera and reported: “In first group [Eburella (Eburella) Monné & Martins, 1973: 152], pronotum always without two discrete, medio-laterally, antero-discal tubercles, and so pronotum almost uniformly colored;” and “In second group, pronotum always with two discrete, medio-laterally, antero-discal tubercles; these tubercles of pronotum black contrasting in color from remainder of pronotum, and so pronotum not uniformly colored.”

As in Beraba, the author divided the genus solely based on the color of the pronotal tubercles. Regarding the uselessness of this feature, see “remarks” in Beraba.

We are synonymizing Eburella (Galileoella) with Eburella, a genus that appears to be highly homogenous in its features.
