Abstract: Eburodacrys White, 1853 Eburodacrys White, 1853: 93. Eburodacrys (Atrotuberculocollis) Özdikmen, 2025b: 2912. Syn. nov. Remarks. Özdikmen (2025b) divided Eburodacrys into three subgenera and reported on two of them: “In first group [Eburodacrys (Eburodacrys) White, 1853: 93], pronotum always with two distinct, discrete, medio-laterally, antero-discal tubercles; these tubercles of pronotum of same color as remainder of pronotum, and so pronotum 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.” Refuting these statements, see remarks in Beraba. Although Botero & Monné (2018) found Eburodacrys to be non-monophyletic, it is evident that the color of the pronotal tubercles cannot, under any circumstances, eventually justify the division of the genus into separate genera and/or subgenera. Therefore, we are synonymizing Eburodacrys (Atrotuberculocollis) with Eburodacrys.
