Type species: Eidoreus minutus Sharp, 1885 . Eupsilobius Casey, 1895 : 454 . Pseudalexia Kolbe, 1910 : 34 . This genus has a peculiar distribution: it is known mainly from widely scattered islands around the globe: Antilles, Hawaii, Galapagos, Seychelles , Samoa , Sri Lanka , Japan , etc. ( Pakaluk & Ślipiński 1995 ). Sen Gupta & Crowson (1973) studied specimens from México and Belize and established the synonymy of Eupsilobius and Eidoreus . Members of this genus are rarely collected; their most frequent habitat seems to be forest debris. Although Eidoreus specimens have been found in association with ants, the nature of this relationship is unclear ( Pakaluk & Ślipiński 1995 ). One species in México . 54.
