The
syntypes
of
E. fornicatus
from the Hamburg Museum collected in
Sri Lanka
were lost during World War II (
Wood and Bright 1992
). Based on the origin of the missing
holotype
, we refer to the TSHBa clade as
E. fornicatus
(
Eichhoff 1868
)
. Specimens within this clade have elytral length of
1.45–1.57 mm
and a pronotum length of
1.05–1.11 mm
, with 7 to 10 socketed denticles on the edge of
protibia. Pronotum width in this clade is
1.04–1.1 mm
and elytra width is
0.5–0.54 mm
. Distribution: Asia (
American Samoa
,
China
,
Indonesia
,
Papua New Guinea
,
Samoa
,
Sri Lanka
,
Taiwan
,
Thailand
),
Australia
, and introduced in
United States
(
Florida
and
Hawaii
).
