Eucurtiopsis
There are twenty species in this myrmecophilous genus of Histeridae. Elytra broader than prothorax; trichome transversely incised; pronotum of most species with paired subapical dorsal processes; most species with branched setae on some part of the body.
The species of Eucurtiopsis represent a relatively northern radiation of Chlamydopsinae. Most of the known species have been described from Borneo and Sulawesi, but species have also been described from Taiwan and Japan, and as yet undescribed species are known from the Philippines (Tishechkin, personal communication).
