Introduction

This genus was created as a replacement name for Thymalops Fennah who had misidentified the single species he placed in the genus which was Dicranotropis anderida Muir. Bellis and Donaldson (2015) transferred D. anderida to Nycheuma Fennah and renamed the species in Queenslandicesa as A. fennahi Bellis and Donaldson in accordance with ICZN Online Article 70.3.2.
