Introduction

This genus is unknown to the compiler. It is close to Colgaroides Distant but can be differentiated most readily by the five frontal carinae meeting at the apex of the head whereas in Colgaroides only three meet at the apex, the outer pair reaching the margin of the vertex more laterally.
