Type
species
Eburella pumicosa
Monné & Martins, 1973
(original designation).
Remarks
Eburella
was described by
Monné & Martins (1973)
for a single species,
Eburella pumicosa
Monné & Martins, 1973
; and characterized by the absence of pronotal tubercles; the presence, in males, of areas densely hairy at sternites I–IV and tarsomeres swollen. Later,
Martins (1997)
described
Eburella pinima
Martins, 1997
based on a single female; although he could not check the male characteristics, he justified the inclusion of the species in
Eburella
by the absence of the anterolateral tubercles of prothorax and the pronotal tubercles and the antennomere III without longitudinal sulcus. Later,
Martins & Galileo (1999)
described a third species,
Eburella longicollis
Martins & Galileo, 1999
, based on a male specimen which did not have densely hairy areas on the sternites, considered by them as a specific characteristic. Recently,
Botero (2013)
described the male of
Eburella pinima
and noticed that the urosternites of males do not have densely hairy areas, corroborating the proposal of
Martins & Galileo (1999)
that this is a specific characteristic. Currently, the genus is composed by three species and known from
Bolivia
,
Brazil
,
Paraguay
and
Peru
.
