Euembia Verhoeff 1904 , type species.

The name Euembia was erected as a subgenus of Embia Latreille 1929 to include those species of Embia with males bearing wings (at that time excluding Embia (Haploembia) solieri Rambur 1942 ) ( Verhoeff 1904). Verhoeff did not, however, designate a type species. He included 12 species of Embioptera in Euembia including those from numerous different currently recognized genera. Euembia has been regarded as a subjective synonym of Embia since soon after it was first recognized ( Enderlein 1909; 1912). Therefore, in the interest of selecting a type species best reflecting the historical interpretation of Embia Latreille 1925 , I hereby designate as type species of Euembia Verhoeff 1904 the species Embia savignii Westwood 1837 (new type designation).
