Subgenus Steneleodes Blaisdell, 1909
The female genitalia are very distinctive and define the subgenus. The dorsal plate is elongate and the external lobe of the apex obsolete. The internal lobe is strongly chitinous and curved outwardly (bluntly sickle-shaped). The appendage is minute and not visible from above. The subgenus is well represented in Mexico, but only two species occur in the United States, one of them in Texas.
