Desudaboides Musgrave, 1927 : 47 ; Metcalf, 1947 : 92 ; Lallemand, 1963 : 8 ; Nagai & Porion, 1996 : 15 . The genus is characterized by the following combination of characters: ( 1 ) head as broad as pronotum; ( 2 ) frons broader than long and with lateral margins sinuate, longer than the clypeus; ( 3 ) clypeus broader than long; ( 4 ) vertex excavate; ( 5 ) mesonotum tricarinate; ( 6 ) tegmina at least three times longer than broad, roundly pointed apically; ( 7 ) clavus open with vein A1+A2 short and ending in sutural margin; ( 8 ) hind wings shorter and broader than tegmina. The genus is endemic in Australia where one other genus of Poiocerinae is represented (in N Queensland): Birdantis Stål, 1863 . The latter is easily separated by the head being narrower than the thorax.
