The subgeneric name is formed from a combinations of prefix ‘haplo’ and ‘Xizicus’ which refers to features of male cerci. Diagnosis. This subgenus is a combination of the known five species which had described as Xiphidiopsis originally before assigned to Eoxizicus and Axizicus , all recognized by apically compressed male cerci, processless hind margin of male 10 th abdominal tergite and normal male subgenital plate.
