Remarks. The genus was revised in the dissertation of Goemans (2016). The two tarsomeres and the median and cubitus anterior veins arising together from the basal cell with no space between them distinguish species of the genus from other Zammarini ( Goemans 2010; 2016).

Distribution. Specimens of the genus have been reported from Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, Colombia, Costa Rica, Ecuador, French Guiana, Guatemala, Guyana, Honduras, Mexico, Nicaragua, Panama, Paraguay, Peru, Suriname, and Venezuela ( Metcalf 1963a; Duffels & van der Laan 1985; Sanborn 2011a, b; 2013; 2014a; 2018b; 2020c, d; Sanborn & Maes 2012; Maes et al. 2012; Sanborn & Heath 2014; Goemans 2016).
