Genus Habronyx Förster, 1869

Remarks. The genus is characterized by a frons with or without a vertical carina; the clypeal apex with a median tooth; a complete occipital carina that is dorsally separated from the posterior ocelli by about the diameter of an ocellus; the pronotum with the lower corner truncate, generally without a tooth; and the mesoscutum in profile angularly rounded, without an apical concavity ( Gauld 1976).

A thorough description for the genus and its constituent subgenera was provided by Gauld (1976). Camposcopus can be distinguish by the epicnemial carina that extends dorsally at an incline to contact the anterior margin of the mesopleuron at about its mid-height; while in Habronyx (s. str.) the epicnemial carina extends some distance dorsad but is nearly vertical so that its upper end does not approach the front margin of the mesopleuron ( Gauld & Bradshaw 1997).
