Diagnosis.

The species of Eumorphus are most similar to those of Platindalmus and Gerstaeckerus . However, Eumorphus can be distinguished from these other genera by the following combination of characters: 1) lateral margin of pronotum with a tendency to form irregularly broken lines, inconstant and often asymmetrical; 2) mandible is narrowly chisel-shaped at its apex; 3) elytra with basal margin simple; 4) intercoxal process of mesoventrite with lateral margins subparallel; 5) male femora lacking fringes of long hairs on inner edges (after Tomaszewska 2005).
