Remarks

This genus, remarkable for is widely open gonopod coxa, was erected by Kraus for a species originally placed in the large, mainly southern African genus Spinotarsus Attems, 1909 . By doing so, Kraus deprived Tanzania of the genus Spinotarsus , an action neutralized by the description below of a new Tanzanian species of Spinotarsus .
