Picchusteles
, known only from the
type
species,
P. i n c a
Linnavuori and DeLong, is included in Chiasmini based on figures of the second valvula (Knight and Webb, 1993) and male genitalia (
Linnavuori and DeLong, 1976
). Based on the Y-shaped connective and shape of male pygofer, it appears to be related to
Exitianus
. The genus was previously included in
Macrostelini
based on the forewing with 2 anteapical cells, but was later removed from the tribe (Knight and Webb, 1993). The condition of the forewing is also known in other Chiasmini, e.g. in macropterous indivuals of
Doratura stylata
and
Chiasmus
spp.
