The description of E. reichei closely matches those of species in the Cis tricornis group, restricted to the American continent (Borlini and Lopes-Andrade 2023), suggesting the possibility mislabelled specimens. Ennearthron abeillei was described as being similar in size and C. pruinosulus and may represent either a synonym or a closely related species.</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/8A3EA9598B03FFD3FF23FCE3FBB8F905	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.
