• Scrutiny:
  • Brock, 2021, Eurycantha armata is a name used in certain publications (d'Herculais), but has not been regarded as valid by authors. Further research required
• Type species:  Eurycantha horrida Boisduval, by original monotypy
• The first family-group name based on this genus is Eurycanthae Brunner von Wattenwyl, 1893.
