Description

Type species. Euthria Glypteuthria kobelti Strebel, 1905.
Diagnosis. Shell fusiform, small, protoconch small, 1,5 whorls, smooth, spiral ornamentation of rounded threads crossed by axial varices; operculum subelliptical, nucleus subterminal; radula prosiphiine, rachidian teeth absent; laterals with 5 to 8 cusps, the cusps point posteriorly within the animal, slightly decreasing in size from the center to the sides of the radula.
Etymology. The name acknowledges the (falsa - false in Spanish) resemblance to the radulae and shell of the species Anomacme smithi Strebel. The genus is masculine. Included species. Only E kobelti (Strebel, 1905). Distribution. As the type species.
Remarks. Crenatosipho Linse, 2002 resembles Falsimacme n. gen. However, the radula has a small rachidian and large curved lateral teeth, both characters absent in Falsimacme n. gen.
