Distribution and habitat

The 15 different species of Eucamaragnathus live on various continents. E. amapa, E. batesi, E. brasiliensis, and E. jaws live in South America.[2] Five other species live throughout India and Southeast Asia, in the Indomalayan realm, while the remaining 6 species live throughout Africa, mostly in the tropics.[3][4]

The species of Eucamaragnathus mostly live in the soils within forests, usually tropical or deciduous. They can also be found in savannas.[4]

Classification

Eucamaragnathus contains 15 species.[2] However, due to the fact that the species Eucamaragnathus desenderi was only recently discovered,[5] many sources still claim that the genus only contains 14 species.[4]

The following diagram shows how all of the species in the genus are related to one another. This diagram does not include E. desenderi.[6]

gollark: > only 195 :GWlulurdWaitWhat:Yes, that is correct.
gollark: > my current project can compile itself in 300 ms so that's niceClearly I must rewrite all my stuff in your current project.
gollark: Technically, yes, but it's 195 lines of code right now and I feel like that would be more trouble than it's worth.
gollark: My Rust programs take an entire 20 seconds to compile and as I'm used to JS this is very irritating.
gollark: PotatOS did that *several* times on CraftOS-PC some time ago.
