The taxonomy of the tiger beetle genus Habroscelimorpha Dokhtouroff, 1883 is revised based on morphology, ecology, and molecular phylogenetics. Recently, nine Nearctic species of Habroscelimorpha were transferred to Eunota Rivalier, 1954 based on the same data types, but the Neotropical species have not been formally evaluated until the present publication. Herein I propose five new combinations based on a plurality of data, including morphological traits, ecology, and the topologies of three prior molecular studies, each based on three mitochondrial gene fragments (16S, COX3 and CytB): Eunota auraria (Klug, 1834) new combination, Eunota boops (Dejean, 1831) new combination, Eunota euryscopa (Bates, 1890) new combination, Eunota wellingi (Cassola and Sawada, 1990) new combination, Microthylax schwarzi (W. Horn, 1923) new combination.
基于形态学、生态学和分子系统发育学，对虎甲属 Habroscelimorpha Dokhtouroff, 1883 的分类进行了修订。最近，基于相同的数据类型，有 9 种近北极虎甲属 Habroscelimorpha 物种被归入 Eunota Rivalier, 1954，但直到本出版物发表，新热带虎甲属 Habroscelimorpha 物种才得到正式评估。在此，我基于多种数据，包括形态特征、生态学和之前的三个分子研究的拓扑结构，提出了五个新的组合，每个组合都基于三个线粒体基因片段（16S、COX3 和 CytB）：Eunota auraria (Klug, 1834) 新组合、Eunota boops (Dejean, 1831) 新组合、Eunota euryscopa (Bates, 1890) 新组合、Eunota wellingi (Cassola and Sawada, 1990) 新组合、Microthylax schwarzi (W. Horn, 1923) 新组合。
