Type species: Lycoperdinella subcaeca Champion, 1913 .

The members of this enigmatic Central American genus seem to live in leaf litter feeding on microfungi or mold and are only collected in berlese funnel samples. This genus has not been formally recorded from México; however, some specimens from Querétaro state are known and represent a new species in process of description (F. Shockley pers. comm.)
