Diagnosis. Prosternum smooth. Pronotum prolonged behind, in males nearly fully covering stridulatory area of tegmen when at rest. Micropterus, male tegmen with a short apical lobe behind stridulatory area; stridulatory file on underside of male left tegmen backward curved with a moderate number of rather large teeth. Male titillators separate with basal area narrow, apical area widened, at base of widened area often with a distinct projection. Apical area of pronotum in female markedly shorter than in male, leaving end of squamipterus tegmina free. Female subgenital plate provided with lateral projections from basal area; ovipositor moderately curved, with acute tip.

The type species of the genus, P. smaragdifrons , is extensively described in Naskrecki & Rentz (2010).

The genus was so far monotypic containing only the type species Scytocera smaragdifrons Naskrecki & Rentz (2010) for which Gorochov (2016) erected the subgenus Papucera . According to the original description, the sternum of the type species is flat and unarmed ( Naskrecki & Rentz 2010). The collections in ZMB contained another similar, but so far undescribed species that belongs to the same genus based on morphological characters including the stridulatory file.
