Remove ads
Echinocups is an extinct genus of ommatid beetle. It was created in 2020 to house three species originally assigned to Notocupes, E. denticollis,[1] E. neli[2] and E. ohmkuhnlei[3] The genus name refers to the sharp spikes present on the elytra.[4] All three species are known from the Cenomanian aged Burmese amber of Myanmar. The status of Echinocups as a distinct genus was contested by Li et al. (2023), who considered the genus Echinocups to be a junior synonym of the genus Notocupes.[5]
