Comment

We did not examine the type of the species but, according to the detailed original description provided by the authors, it is extremely close or even identical with Hockeria inopinata Bouček, 1952 (type examined by GD). This species has some original characters, namely mandibles 2-toothed and a sulcus interantennal projection. It nevertheless seems to belong to the new genus, until now mixed with Hockeria , and revealed by the phylogenetic study using UCE ( Cruaud et al. 2021).
