), possibly due to adaptation to similar environmental conditions of their habitat (see “Introduction” and “Discussion”). Possible adaptive convergences concern: very small size, very convex and subglobose body, antennae with enlarged apical antennomeres, strongly reduced hind wings, greatly simplified and shortened mesothorax and metathorax, and elytra lacking humeral calli. However, the new genus shares some characters with the Asian genus
