Gen.
Mimoscudderia
Carl, 1914
The genus
Mimoscudderia
is characterized by fastigium of vertex narrow, furrowed, not contiguous with fastigium of frons, eyes semi-spherical (higher than large), pronotum rounded in metazona, little enlarged in prozona, tegmina rather narrow, all femora inferiorly armed, hind genicular lobes provided with two small spines, and styli absent. It is known only from Madagascar, where
Carl (1914)
described two species, one of which only from a female, the other from both sexes; recently
Massa (2017a)
described a third species, which tentatively he has placed within this genus.
