Epigomphus
Hagen
in
Selys, 1854
The taxonomy of this genus is in need of synoptic update as reference to scattered papers is necessary for identification (
Calvert 1920
;
Belle 1970
,
1988b
,
1996
;
Donnelly 1989
); at least four species are known from
Ecuador
(
Fig. 73
), but much more work is needed to clarify the status of others. Habitat includes small streams in forested areas.
