Notes
One individual caught in a white-sand site (Suppl. material 2). This genus was formerly known from the Western Pacific and Australian regions. The undescribed species found in our study exhibits all the diagnostic features of the genus: the antennae are slightly flattened, basally with faintly keeled antennomeres, the abdominal tip is deeply excavated, the lateral antennal grooves are somewhat removed from the lateral border of hypomera and become fainter caudad, and the dorsal vestiture is unevenly distributed, forming faint patterns.
