Mionelater Becker, 1963: 125. Type species: Mionelater planatus Becker, 1963: 126.
Diagnosis.
Head. Supra antennal carina porrect in lateral view; eyes large; antennae serrate with acute apicoventral angles. Prothorax. Hind angles elongate, pronotum abruptly constricted at base. Pterothorax. Mesocoxal cavity possibly open to mesepisternum and mesepimeron. Legs. No tarsomeres lobed or lamellate; tarsal claws with one apex per side; tarsal claws with one apex per side. Not in key to species.
Comment: the serrate antennae, large eyes, shelf-like supra-antennal carina, elongate pronotal hind angles, and open mesocoxal cavities suggest this genus might belong to Dendrometrinae or another subfamily. One known species.
