Bolivar (1914) established
nigroadspersus
as the type-species of this genus; I agree with La Greca (1993) who moved again this species to the genus
Amigus
, previously synonymized with
Paraeumigus
by Dirsh (1958). The shape of the pronotum, tegmina, prosternal tubercle and genitalia (
Figs. 146–148
) consent to establish that it is not related to
Paraeumigus
nor to
Euryparyphes
, but to
Acinipe
and related genera; thus, it belongs to the tribe
Pamphagini
.
