Genus Agamemnon Moxey, 1971: 71

See Brock et al. (2023) for a complete reference list

This genus was only previously recorded for Virgin and Puerto Rico Islands, and is now recorded for Cuba. Each of the two transferred species are from Cuba and present somewhat similar characters such as a very short tergum X. It is possible that future analysis with more material from specific locations, or even new sampling effort, reveal that these species are conspecific. The genus now contains 4 species. Characteristics contained by the transferred species that allowed generic assignment are the following: presence of porrect dorsal spines anteriorly in the head; widened metathorax; relatively long female median segment; similar morphology of teminalia.
