Euura punicea group s. lat.

This clade comprises most of the former Amauronematus , including the former Pontopristia ( amentorum group), but not Brachycoluma ( viduata group), and is mainly defined based on genetic data ( Fig. 3A ). Members tend to have a characteristic “ Amauronematus ”- type head (e.g., Fig. 86 ), i.e., medial surface of head near antennal sockets is not distinctly elevated or angular below medial pit. Various other species have sometimes been included in Amauronematus because of a similar type of head (e.g., E. anthracina , E. fahraei , various members of E. bipartita and flavescens groups), but these are genetically more distant. The following groups are included: aegra , amentorum , histrio , humeralis , longiserra , opacipleuris , punicea s. str., toeniata , tunicata , variator , vittata , and Euura brunnea not assigned to a group.
