Copturomorpha Champion, 1906: 65 View in CoL .

Members of this genus typically share the following combination of characters: second segment of antennal funiculus not longer than first, mesosternum and metasternum often strongly excavated to receive apex of rostrum, abdominal ventrites strongly ascending, femora unarmed on internal margins, and the anterior femora each with a more or less conspicuous glabrous, striate area on their front face.

The species described here has very small glabrous areas on the anterior femora, lacks an excavated metasternum, and the mesosternum is only very weakly carinate, but it is obviously related to other species currently assigned to the genus.
