Distribution.
This species was previously recorded from
South Africa
(Dirsh 1956).
Remarks.
This genus was erected by
Dirsh (1956a)
on the basis of flat pronotum, narrow fastigium of vertex and trilobate subgenital plate of a female. This genus resembles
Calliptamulus
by its shape of the male cercus. Its taxonomic status is not satisfactory. The SANC collection contains a few specimens, which may be unique species.
