Gen. Mimoscudderia Carl, 1914

The genus Mimoscudderia is characterized by fastigium of vertex narrow, furrowed, not contiguous with fastigium of frons, eyes semi-spherical (higher than large), pronotum rounded in metazona, little enlarged in prozona, tegmina rather narrow, all femora inferiorly armed, hind genicular lobes provided with two small spines, and styli absent. It is known only from Madagascar, where Carl (1914) described two species, one of which only from a female, the other from both sexes; recently Massa (2017a) described a third species, which tentatively he has placed within this genus.
