Genus Eucatops Portevin View in CoL

Eucatops Portevin, 1903a: 162 View in CoL ; Jeannel, 1936: 46 (redescription). Type species: Eucatops curvipes Portevin View in CoL (5 species in original description, all as “new”— curvipes View in CoL , ater View in CoL , grouvellei View in CoL , rufescens View in CoL , oblongus View in CoL ); des. in Jeannel, 1922: 39 (not stated as taxonomic change).

Distribution: Neotropical. Note: One undetermined (?undescribed) species (subgenus Eucatops ) from Tobago Island (of Trinidad and Tobago) (Peck et al., 2002: 12); Salgado (2003b: 58) “describes” an undetermined species (in subgenus Eucatops ) based on 2 females from Ecuador (it might have been described afterwards, because Salgado described species from the same locality, but no further reference to this material was made by that author).

Biology: Carrion scavenger in forests; some species seemingly are in ant nests.
