DISCUSSION: Several characters in this taxon suggest that it is not a member of the Leucophoropterini : the endosoma is relatively large, despite the overall body size being equivalent to many Sejanus or Ausejanus species ; the pygophore is also relatively large, half the length of the abdomen; and the apex of the endosoma has multiple spicules and spines ( Carvalho and Gross 1982 : fig. 46) that are unlike the condition seen in other taxa we place in the Leucophoropterini .
