discussion
Remarks Eburella was described by Monné & Martins (1973) for a single species, Eburella pumicosa Monné & Martins, 1973; and characterized by the absence of pronotal tubercles; the presence, in males, of areas densely hairy at sternites I – IV and tarsomeres swollen. Later, Martins (1997) described Eburella pinima Martins, 1997 based on a single female; although he could not check the male characteristics, he justified the inclusion of the species in Eburella by the absence of the anterolateral tubercles of prothorax and the pronotal tubercles and the antennomere III without longitudinal sulcus. Later, Martins & Galileo (1999) described a third species, Eburella longicollis Martins & Galileo, 1999, based on a male specimen which did not have densely hairy areas on the sternites, considered by them as a specific characteristic. Recently, Botero (2013) described the male of Eburella pinima and noticed that the urosternites of males do not have densely hairy areas, corroborating the proposal of Martins & Galileo (1999) that this is a specific characteristic. Currently, the genus is composed by three species and known from Bolivia, Brazil, Paraguay and Peru.
