Distribution.
This species was previously recorded from
Namibia
(Brown 1962) and
South Africa
(
Dirsh 1959
).
Remarks.
This genus was erected by
Dirsh (1959)
based on its flat dorsum which is similar to that of
Plegmapterus
Martinez 1898
,
Plegmapteropsis
Dirsh 1956
, and
Calliptamuloides
Dirsh 1956
. The shape of its head is more similar to that of
Plegmapteropsis
;
however, it differs from
Plegmapteropsis
by its posterior margin of the last abdominal tergite, supra—anal plate, hind femur and male cercus. Its taxonomic state is satisfactory or stable.
