Type species: Euproctus fasciatus Solier, 1849 by monotypy. Etymology. Uncertain, possibly from the Greek eu (well, by extension large) and proctos (anus, tail) [masculine]. Euproctinus Leng and Mutchler, 1927: 14. Replacement name for Euproctus Solier, 1849. Etymology. From the generic name Euproctus [ q.v .] and the Latin suffix - inus (pertaining to) [masculine]. Andrewesella Csiki, 1932b: 1456. Replacement name for Euproctus Solier, 1849. Etymology. Although not specified, this name probably originates from the surname of Herbert Edward Andrewes [1863-1950] who devoted a large part of his life to the study of Carabidae of the Oriental Region. Diversity. Sixteen species restricted to the Western Hemisphere, currently arrayed in two subgenera: Euproctinus s.str. (one species, Euproctinus fasciatus Solier from Chile and Argentina) and Neoeuproctus (15 species). Identification. Shpeley (1986) revised the species and provided a key for their identification.
