Comments

The two species included in our analysis share some morphological traits concerning the arrangement of the cornuti (39: 2), which supports the monophyly of the genus. Certain homoplastic characters such as the incomplete contortion of the aedeagus (26: 0), morphology of the saccus (73: 1) and (87: 2), and morphology of the gnathos (79: 2) and (81: 0) are diagnostic characters.
