By monotypy, 13 species included. Diagnosis: First visible labial segment as long as the second one; first and second visible labial segments with a pair of spiniform processes; posterior region of anterior pronotal lobe nearly flat; scutellum with a spine apically; procoxae elongate; humeral angles flat; profemora with spines ventrally and on the upper margin of inner surface; protibiae with three or four spines; second tarsomere as long as the third one; third tarsomere slender and just slightly dilated ( Castro-Huertas and Melo 2023 , 2024). In addition, head glabrous; anteroventral margin of the proepisternal supracoxal lobe with a simple seta; ventral surface of procoxae with only simple setae; apex of paramere acute; and gonoplac composed by one sclerite (by fusion).
