Eubrachis Burgeon, 1940
(nec Baly, 1878 nec Dejean, 1836)

The genus was originally named Eubrachis by Louis Jules Léon Burgeon, who described it in 1940. However, this name was unavailable, as it was preoccupied by two earlier Eumolpinae genera; the name Eubrachis was first used by Dejean in his catalogue in 1836 (which is now a synonym of Pseudocolaspis), and later by Joseph Sugar Baly in 1878 (now a synonym of Macrocoma). Because of this, Burgeon's Eubrachis was renamed to Tanybria by Brian J. Selman in 1963.[1]
