Remarks
Two opinions:
"Close to E. dimidiatus Van Duzee, but the pronotum of the photographed bug is much shinier than my specimen of E. dimidiatus collected in Colorado (the type locality state). Nevertheless it keys in Torre-Bueno to E. dimidiatus so it is near, but is very probably a new species." (Merrill Sweet, pers.comm.)
"This Eremocoris with the distal two-thirds of the hemelytra uniform dark brown is either E. obscurus Van Duzee or E. semicinctus Van Duzee (=melanotus Walley). The latter has long outstanding setae on the hind tibiae, whereas in E. obscurus these are lacking." (G.G.E. Scudder, pers.comm.)
