Remarks. The type and only species was placed in Eucalliacinae , now Eucalliacidae , as a species of Calliax , by Sakai (2005). Sakai (2011) erected the new genus Pseudocalliax for it in the same subfamily. No molecular sequences were available to Robles et al. (2020) to challenge this placement that has good morphological support ( Poore et al., 2019). The genus shares with the three species of Calliax the characteristic short fixed finger on the minor cheliped.
