This monobasic genus is the only known member of tribe
Dryptini
from the Neotropical region. The single species, known only from
Brazil
(“Ega”, today Tefé, in the state of
Amazonas
), is easily distinguishable by its unique combination of characters, i.e. elytra with strong, smooth costae, intervals wide and transversely striate; apex of elytra with external angle spiniform; claws smooth.
