Genus Placodidus Péringuey, 1900

The genus was revised by Krikken (1976) which recognized six species. Later, Krikken (1979b) described one more species. The species are myrmecophylous, presenting a very flat body conformation adapted to this habit. There are two species recorded for Angola ( Krikken 1976, 1979b).
