Notes.

Only one species is known. Unfortunately, the location for the type material is unknown. The original description of Pydaristes appears to be identical or very close to that of Amphimela Chapuis. The synonymy proposed by Scherer (1961) between Pydaristes and Blepharida Chevrolat is unconvincing, because of the absence of dentiform emargination on the hind tibiae in Pydaristes (according to the original description), such emargination is characteristically present in Blepharida .
