Subfamily Chimarrinae Rambur 1842

Genus Chimarra Stephens 1829

Subgenus Otarrha Blahnik 2002

The subgenus Otarrha was described by Blahnik (2002) to include 31 species (13 new species and 18 species previously unplaced in a subgenus or placed in the subgenus Chimarra Stephens). It is endemic to the Neotropical region, widespread in northern South America and in the Greater and Lesser Antilles. Its presence in French Guiana was therefore probable and is now confirmed.
