, consisting of only two species, is unique and most readily recognized genus not only of the southern African, but all African genera. Distinguishing features are the very long and dense setation, the presence of setation on the dorsal surface of the head, the large antennal club with the apical segment strongly ināted, the very wide semi-circular scutellum, the keeled and broad metasternal process, the absence of a meso-metasternal suture, the broadened protibia, the apically broadened meso- and metatibia and the elongate ®rst tarsomere of the protarsus.

Other, non-adaptive features such as shapes of the metasternum, the prosternum behind the procoxae, the scutellum and the aedeagus are indicative, we believe, of a phylogenetically truly isolated lineage in comparison with the remaining African genera.
