Taxonomy Giangrade et al (2017) reported a cladistic analysis for Euchone and related species of 21 taxa and 27 characters. They comment "The genus Euchone should be defined by the presence of dorsal lips with radiolar appendages, and the absence of paleate chaetae in the thorax. Most of the Euchone species have thoracic uncini with teeth of similar size over the main fang, well-defined ventral shields, variation of abdominal uncinal shape between segments, a well-defined and hollowed pre-pygidial depression with lateral wings, and a ventral incision in the anterior collar margin, a feature also present in Jasmineira and Euchoneira. However, several exceptions to this pattern can be highlighted." [details]
