The genus was established in 1960 by the Czech entomologist Bohumila Špringlová de Bechyně (wife of Jan Bechyně) as a close relative of '' Eumolpus''. One of the generic characters separating ''Longeumolpus'' from ''Eumolpus'' is the length of the aedeagus An aedeagus (plural aedeagi) is a reproductive organ of male arthropods through which they secrete sperm from the testes during copulation with a female. It can be thought of as the insect equivalent of a mammal's penis, though the comparison ... in the males: in ''Eumolpus'', the aedeagus is short, and always less than half the length of the abdomen, while in ''Longeumolpus'', the aedeagus is very long and is at least three quarters of the abdomen's length.
