Eumecopoda Hebard, 1922 View in CoL
Type species: Mecopoda cyrtoscelis Karsch, 1888 by original designation.
Under this genus about 7 taxa have been arranged ( Hebard 1922, Beier 1966). Two of them, E. reducta Hebard, 1922 and E. walkeri ( Kirby, 1891) , occur in the Philippines, E. moluccarum (Griffini, 1908) in the Moluccas, E. superba ( Bolivar, 1898) known only from “Hassam” and Mansinam ( NW West Irian) ( Bolivar 1898, Griffini 1908) and the widespread type-species E. cyrtoscelis from the Aru Islands through all of New Guinea to New Britain. The taxa E. karschi and E. regina , both Kirby, 1891, are considered subspecies of E. cyrtoscelis , the former occurring in Queensland, the latter in Duke of York Islands.
The specimens collected in the surroundings of Wau represent two species, a larger one referring to E. cyrtoscelis and a smaller one, which has apparently not yet been described.
