State of knowledge: Accepted Type Species

groups of supergroups of genera: pending; supergroups of genera : EUOPHRYOIDA; groups of genera: EUOPHRYINES;

Comments: Type species of the genus. Supposedly junior synonym of Plexippus severus Thor. 1881 - according to Zabka 1991c: 25, for which no documentation was published, name not used since 1911, rationale for revival seems doubtful.

Distribution: Australia; Australia: Queensland.
