Type
species:
Ptochiomera mumfordi
Van Duzee, 1935
Monotypic.
Diagnosis:
This genus can be distinguished from other genera with species exhibiting coleopteroid forms and lacking ocelli, such as
Cnemodus
and
Andercnemodus,
by its rather broad V-shaped pronotal collar, the strongly punctate body, and the scalloping of abdominal sterna; and from the former genus by the reduced evaporative area and the forefemoral spines reduced and arranged in single inner row; and from
Andercnemodus
by the enclosed mesepimeron, and the non-crenate corial margin.
