Other included species

Seventeen, including one species described as new here, see Kraus (1960), Demange (1965), Pierrard (1970), Vohland & Hamer (2013).

Diagnosis (modified from Kraus 1960)

Differs from other genera of Prionopetalini by the combination of small size, a basad metaplical process on the gonopod coxa, a very long, slender solenomere (much longer than telomere), and often a subapical spinelike side branch on the solenomere.

Remarks

This genus of small odontopygids is widely distributed in West, Central, East and southern Africa.
