Genus Dasylaimus Cobb, 1933

The genus Dasylaimus was established by Cobb (1933) when D. nudus Cobb, 1933 was described based on a single female. The description is poor in details and did not present any illustration. Wieser (1954) included Dasylaimus in his identification key for Chromadoridae genera but later Hope & Murphy (1972) regarded this genus as dubious. Kulikov & Dashchenko (1991) and Lorenzen (1994) also cited Dasylaimus as dubious genus and it was not mentioned by Tchesunov (2014). For these reasons, Dasylaimus is considered here as invalid genus.
