Diagnosis

Same as for Eomegophthalmus lithuaniensis sp. nov., due to monotypy of this genus.

Etymology

The genus name, a feminine Latinized Greek noun, combines eos (“dawn”) with Megophthalmus , the name of a related modern genus, and refers to the apparent position of the genus as the earliest known representative of its lineage.
