The new genus is readily distinguishable from other New World canthonine genera. The genus is quite similar to two Australian genera:

three genera are all characterized by the presence of the anterior trochantofemoral pit and the position and form of the pseudoepipleuron. Based on our study of dung beetle genera, we predict that these characters are phylogenetically informative and that the three genera form a clade. The three genera may be related, although more distantly, to the South American genera
