The syntypes of E. fornicatus from the Hamburg Museum collected in Sri Lanka were lost during World War II ( Wood and Bright 1992). Based on the origin of the missing holotype, we refer to the TSHBa clade as E. fornicatus ( Eichhoff 1868) . Specimens within this clade have elytral length of 1.45–1.57 mm and a pronotum length of 1.05–1.11 mm, with 7 to 10 socketed denticles on the edge of protibia. Pronotum width in this clade is 1.04–1.1 mm and elytra width is 0.5–0.54 mm. Distribution: Asia ( American Samoa, China, Indonesia, Papua New Guinea, Samoa, Sri Lanka, Taiwan, Thailand), Australia, and introduced in United States (Florida and Hawaii).
