Abstract

The genus remains monotypic for a peculiar species known so far only from Panama, where it is quite abundant locally. The genus is placed in the tribe Pityocerini with Elaphella Bezzi and Pseudelaphella Krober by Enderlein and Krober. These two genera certainly seem its closest relatives, and form transitions between it and Fidena . The long-stalked first posterior cell seems characteristic of the group.
