Type species:
Citripo flandersi Evans, 1934 by monotypy.
Introduction
A monotypic genus confined to the southeastern regions of Queensland. It was separated from other ipoine genera by Evans (1934) on the basis of the head structure since the vertex is present and of even length throughout whereas the vertex in other genera is usually only visible laterally against the eyes or perhaps also medially. The male genitalia also provide generic characters.

Diagnosis
The labium is short, terminating between the fore coxae; the anteclypeus is apically recurved, the lora raised slightly above the maxillary plates anterolaterally and the frontoclypeus evenly convex. The crown of the head is well developed and of even length throughout. The hind tibiae have one large and one small spur and two additional spines on the same edge; also several spines elsewhere (Evans 1966).
