Germain, by original designation.
Remarks.
This subgenus contains two described species (
Jeannel 1962
;
Maddison et al. 2013
) (Fig. 1F) and at least three undescribed species. Males are characterized by having a brush sclerite, and by having an extremely elongate flagellum, so long that it can only fit within the median lobe through folding (
Maddison et al. 2013
). Members of this subgenus occur on steep sand or clay banks of rivers and creeks.
