Diagnosis.
A genus of
Dorypetalidae
, subfamily Cyphocallipodinae; differs from
Cyphocallipus
by the simple gonopodal coxite and the straight, rodlike gonopodal pseudoflagellum (very thin and curved, following the curvature of the telepodite in
Cyphocallipus
); differs from the very poorly known genus
Dorycallipus
by not having the male forehead flattened and by having the setiferous metazonital crests larger than the non-setiferous ones (
fide
Verhoeff 1909
).
