Introduction

Through phylogenetic analyses, Zhou et al. (2022) found the genus Trogoderma to be paraphyletic, and split into two re-defined genera. Species of Trogoderma that occur in the Southern Hemisphere (with the exception of T. variabile) were transferred to the genus Eurhopalus. The genera Anthrenocerus, Myrmeanthrenus, Neoanthrenus, and Reesa were also synonymised with Eurhopalus.

Introduction

Ślipiński et al. (2023) notes that the species was described from two females collected in "Central Australia"; the type locality was subsequently recognised as Oodnadatta. However, there has not been any success matching any males to these females and the authors have decided to recognise the species as incertae sedis.
