Taxonomic note

The was described by Blaisdell in 1909. The name 'Eleodimorpha' suggests morphological similarity to the genus Eleodes, a large and diverse group of darkling beetles commonly known as 'stink beetles' or 'pinacate beetles'. However, the precise relationship and distinguishing characteristics between Eleodimorpha and Eleodes require verification from primary taxonomic literature.
